The problem that the bug seems deeper… I have the impression that “Save Slice”
does not search all the repos and if the number already exists, increase (like
normal slice saving).
Then, when saving, it *saves* the wrong version as it asks the cache “give me
name X”, and “name X” is already there, and it uses that for upload (or even
skips the upload as the
file is already there?).
Even re-saving the slice does not help, as unchanged members are not re-saved
with a new name.
But even if this would work, everything fails as soon as you end up with two
MCZ files with the same name (e.g. working in two images offline, or working on
a package, save, but then only merge
it *after* you did another change in the main branch that led to the same name).
Maybe we should really add the hash in the filename…
