setRepository() in RepositoryItemReader in 3.0.0.RC1 broken? [BATCH-2232]

[spring-projects-issues]

Shiro opened BATCH-2232 and commented

Commit b26d272 changed setRepository() from ```
public void setRepository(PagingAndSortingRepository repository)

```public void setRepository(PagingAndSortingRepository<T, ?> repository)
```.

I believe this was done in error.

For my use case I used a spring data jpa repository of type Domain but the method set with ```
setMethodName()
``` would return a String. With Milestone 1 I would declare a 
```RepositoryItemReader<String>
```, call 
```setRepository()
``` with my own 
```JpaRepository<Domain, Long>
``` and all would work as expected. With RC1 this is now impossible, because the types of the repository and the return type of the repository's query method must be the same.
