Maybe we're using two different meanings for the word 'repository'.
I'm using it in a version control system sense: a place where you can look
at
different versions of the source files and create
patches, test local
changes,
etc.
When you create a project on codeplex/github/google code/etc., you
generally get a source code repository configured for a version control
system like subversion, mercurial, git, etc.
Setting up a project on a project hosting site isn't as important as
setting
up
version control so that you can i) isolate your
changes,
ii) experiment with changes that you might want to undo should they not
work out, and iii) create patches that you can submit to the KLH10
maintainers.
With mercurial, its easy to create a local repository and share it with
someone (i.e. me) without going to the trouble of creating a project on a
hosting site like codeplex.
I honestly don't understand why the SIMH folks don't have a publicly
accessible source code repository and only have tarballs. It makes
contributing source code changes harder than it should be.

I have to agree with that last comment. Perhaps it would be better to open
that discussion on the SIMH list though.
