Don't use both commons and a wikipedia as a file repo ;). File repos are meant
to be cascasive (however that doesn't really help you, as you still have the
dupes from using both enwiki and dewiki).

The no file description shown is bug 27111.

Well the api output does mark them as coming from a different repo. However it
would be very difficult to be able to match the repo name to the actual repo in
general. Thus it would be difficult to be able to determine if the two dupes
come from the same repo, or if they're two dupes that are from two separate
repos. Maybe we could suppress the dupe notification if both dupes have the
same file name (I think that would be reasonably sane, not 100% sure).

I suppose we could have a disabled by default config option to not fetch things
from repos that aren't local.
