RE: Vault 2.0 - VS Solution keeps prompting for repository

I think this is a classic - "more power but not as easy to setup" trade-off.
Previously, Vault would remember only the last server/repository you
connected to.  Now it can remember any number of connection strings, but you
have to set it up ahead of time.

This works great for the GUI client, but unfortunately I agree that the IDE
client took a step back.  In fact, I think this is a actually a bug, because
there is no reason for the IDE not to continue to remember the repository
the project belongs to, even if it isn't specified in the profile.

So, I'll need to look into this and see if we can get a patch out.
