Hey,
Are there any resources that explain how MediaWiki's file repositories work? I've been going through the code, but between the various FileRepo classes and their corresponding File classes, it's way too confusing. I'm trying to make a new FileRepo/File class to allow storage of uploads on a different device.

Have you read includes/filerepo/README ?
Very broadly, filerepo is for stuff generic to the filerepo, and file objects contain info on individual files. Methods on the file objects get called to get info about a specific file, and often those methods call more general methods in the filerepo class to get the needed information out of the repository.
