This is unsupported for encrypted repositories at this time.

For unencrypted repositories it's ok, but needs manual work to work

Globally unique identifier for each repository to match the repository

It is stored in the "config" file in the repository. (cont'd)

Edit the "config" file and change the ID there in one of the repositories.
