Ok.  Conceptually though, the purpose the --gluck serves is quite
different from that of -2003.  There will tend to be a strong relation
between address@hidden and
address@hidden, whereas little if at all between
--dancer-2003 and --gluck-2003.

So we could change the name of a repository to basically be everything
before the last -.
