With Repository pattern some methods seem to be missing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Static methods like Class.Find() do not exist with Repository pattern.
2. The only way to Find() a record is to get the entire collection, and 
then Find() like
new ProductCollection().GetList().Find(...);

instead of just

Product.Find(...);

Correct me if I'm wrong.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Subsonic 2.1 final

Please provide any additional information below.

This is by design. Your queries should go through the repositories instead of 
hanging 
off the collections. For example:

var products = 
DB.Select().From<Product>().Where(...).IsEqualTo(...).ExecuteCollection<ProductC
ollec
tion>();

I responded to the forum post. Any discussion on this can continue there and 
we'll 
reopen a new issue if needed.
