I am not sure I follow, but it sounds cool. So let's take the
classic case: I have an archive accessible via read-only WebDAV as
well as sftp. Previously, I would register the first with an "-anon"
suffix, and the second normally. This would allow me to commit to an
archive from the same machine where I could also use cron to sync
automatically (using password-less WebDAV).

Since I cannot specify a suffix anymore and am thus bound to using
the official name of the archive, I try to register both
successively, but I find that they overwrite each other:

cirrus:~> baz --version
baz Bazaar version 1.4.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/dists--bazaar--1.4[bazaar--devo.cfg]
[...]
cirrus:~> baz register-archive -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]             [364]
cirrus:~> baz register-archive http://arch.madduck.net/~madduck/pub/debianbook/ 
        [365]
Registering Archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cirrus:~> baz register-archive sftp://[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/srv/arch/madduck/pub/debianbook
Registering Archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cirrus:~> baz archives | grep -A2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]             [367]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
    http://arch.madduck.net/~madduck/pub/debianbook/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is a real shame, because it effectively loses the extra layer
of abstraction of the archive name. I really enjoyed being able to
register an archive as "zope-upstream-archive-anon" and just use
that name instead of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] crap.

Why do you require the archive name I use on my work machine to be
bound to the upstream name?
