Lets do so then...
Currently, there are two non-source intrusive id generation schemes:
.id files.
names.

the names id style doesn't support source tree reorganisation.
the content of .id files is currently randomly generated.

Assuming that most folk will go with tagline (for future flexability)
and tla add the files - we'll end up with separate id's for the same
file in different repositories. And changing an id == a delete + add.

So - questions?
