But there is a larger reason why I wouldn't do this:  It would mean adding a special character that could not be included in the repository name, that is, if I were to create a "unique-program-name" string which was of the format repo+"-"+programName then the repo name could not have the "-" symbol in it.

comparing program name strings, compare tuples of (repo, program_name)
- it should work just fine.
