Comment:
I like the idea of updating the Repo URL automatically, but we'd need to be 100% certain that the new URL is in fact the same repo. With Git and Hg this should be fairly easy, since the commit hashes are cryptographically secure (I think we could just pick a commit at random and make sure it exists in both repos and the logs are the same). However, I'm not sure how we would do this in cvs or svn. Do you think the same idea would be secure enough?
