 Repository depends on the schema defined by the underlying relational database); such
 repositories are called "dependent".  Conversely, a repository which has complete control
 over the schema is termed "independent".

 <P>A dependent repository requires and will verify that Storables
 have a matching definition in the external storage layer. An independent
 repository will automatically update type definitions in its database to
 match changes to Storable definitions.

 <p>Repository instances should be thread-safe and immutable. Therefore, it
 is safe for multiple threads to be interacting with a Repository.</div>

 <p>This method requests a top-level transaction, which means it never
 has a parent transaction, but it still can be a parent transaction
 itself. This kind of transaction is useful when a commit must absolutely
 succeed, even if the current thread is already in a transaction
 scope. If there was a parent transaction, then a commit might still be
 rolled back by the parent.

 <p>Requesting a top-level transaction can be deadlock prone if the
 current thread is already in a transaction scope. The top-level
 transaction may not be able to obtain locks held by the parent
 transaction. An alternative to requesting top-level transactions is to
 execute transactions in separate threads.</div>
