#2587: Buildbot doesn't accept changes done by the same user for different
repositories

Comment:
In more detail:
* when the first user, git in this case, is added, it defaults to using
the full git username as the identifier
* when the second user is added, svn in this case, the lookup in the
`users_info` table doesn't find the existing record, because the
`attr_type` column differs.
* consequently, it attempts to add a new, unrelated user, although one
that the admin may later want to join to the existing user
* that new, unrelated user also uses the full username <email> pair as
the identifier, but it happens that's already taken.
I can see cases where it will obviously make sense to merge users when
this happens. But I can also see cases where it won't (e.g., Dustin
Sallings and I are 'dustin' on various services like github and
sourceforge, and we wouldn't want our accounts combined). So I think that
the best thing to do is take the safe default, and when identifiers clash,
add some suffix to disambiguate them, e.g., `'User Name (1)
<[email protected]>'`.
