[Dev] Profile directory changes landed, location of __repository__ etc. changed

[John Anderson]

I think profile directory, makes sense in the context of a user's 
profile, e.g. preferences, etc. -- as in Mozilla. However, Chandler is a 
very different beast, and one of its principle hallmarks is the idea 
that everything is kept in a single large repository (even preferences 
could be stored there). So using the Mozilla terminology doesn't seem to 
make much sense. I'm not that attached to repository directory, but I 
think we need a better name than profile directory. Do you have any 
other suggestions?
