So we’d be moving the project/branch structure to naming conventions.
In a way, that’s not great, because as users we like to think in terms
of branches to answer questions like “how many packages failed in branch
X of the Savannah repo?”.
However, this can probably be addressed at the UI level: the web UI and
guix-hydra.el could list (shortened) repo URLs and branch names instead
of this ‘name’ field. Eventually, we could remove this ‘name’ field
altogether and instead have an automatically-assigned numerical ID.
WDYT?
(This does not affect this patch series, I’m thinking about what we can
do eventually.)

Oh right, since we now have multiple inputs, what I wrote above is not
quite true; there can be several repo URLs/branches that would need to
be shown on the UI. Hmm, maybe we need to keep the ‘name’, but only as
a hint and not as a key.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
