Problem description (include actual vs expected text, if applicable):

Indicate that this rule fetches everything from the local system and should be reevaluated at every fetch.

This is not true. See #16217 for why it is expected behavior that the rule is not always re-evaluated.

Where do you see this issue? (include link to specific section of the page, if applicable)

https://bazel.build/rules/lib/globals/bzl.html#repository_rule

Any other information you'd like to share?

This argument might just be a complete misfeature. If so, it should be documented as such.
