This would give us "for free" the feature that patches that are
identical except in name do not conflict.
I've said this before, but please don't allow this to happen without human
confirmation that it should. I know that in 99% of cases it's what's
wanted, but in the other 1% or 0.1% it's not, and it's much harder to sort
out the mess when it's happened unwantedly than vice versa.
With the implementation I've got in mind, we could easily add a
warning, perhaps even something analogous to the "!" in darcs changes
-s when this happens. It shouldn't in any case be hard to query the
repository for primitive patches with multiple names.
This is no use unless we can then do something to force the conflict in
all repositories, though.
Cheers,
Ganesh
