Achtung: RIDs are local to a given copy/clone of a repo, and are not
eternal in nature. In theory, a rebuild can change the RIDs (though i don't
think it currently does so). It is very possible that two given clones of a
repo have different RIDs for the same blobs, in particular if not all work
is synced (e.g. local private branches).

Not based on RIDs, at least not reliably. Only the UUIDs are guaranteed to
be stable.
