There are a lot of discussions going on about the repository pattern. I also started one at the last usergroup meeting together with Julie Lerman. Generally the generic repository is considered an anti pattern as stated by Greg Young, he offers a solution by applying a composition pattern to maximize code reuse. Mike from SapiensWork even calls it a complete anti pattern. Ayende calls it since a long time the new singleton. Ayende also suggests in his older articles to either use directly...
What is that all about the repository anti pattern?
