Description

After a recent email to Maven Users list, I discovered the new <mirrorOf></mirrorOf> feature has not been documented *anywhere official.

It is not in the 2.0.5 changelog, nor in JIRA (that I've found), nor in settings.xml reference [1], etc. The only place this has been "documented" is on the Maven Users and Maven Developer email lists, and in various blogs [2]. I find it very strange that a new feature made it into Maven without a corresponding JIRA – so perhaps it might even make sense to retroactively add it?

This needs to be documented somewhere (probably multiple places) asap.

I'm going to edit this JIRA to be the one you mentioned retroactively.
