Repositories on file:// are just local repositories. There's nothing special about them. They include all packages and the repository files.
a3433e1 disabled the optimization to not cache the files. There's no reason to have the files on the system twice. It's a waste of time, I/O, bandwidth with NFS, and space on the local system.

As noted on ports@, having PKG_CACHEDIR set to the repodir (which was a workaround for caching local repository files before 1.3) now can trash the repository with checksum symlinks that were added in 1.3. This has not been noticed in 1.3 as local repositories skipped the cachedir that this change has broken.
