The goal is to externalize repositories declaration to a clean list of files managed inside the buildSrc directory.
By changing the gradlew, the starting experience is identical, and when using pure gradle adding "--init-script buildSrc/repo-init.gradle" will do the trick.
We are now using this layout for most of our project and it proved quite clean.
Furthermore it is possible to add:

apply from: buildSrc/repositories.gradle

in any gradle build file to have a clean import of the repositories declaration.

This might be solved by the Init script improvements in m7, since you can put repositories.gradle in .gradle/init.d/. Though I'm waiting for an equivalent of init.d for gradlew.
