That does sound good: I think it resolves both the original report  
that got this thread started (merge between different repositories  
==> different UUIDs) and also my "inverse" case (merge between  
different names for the same host/repo ==> same UUIDs).

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to  
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the  
other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious  
deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
