> It appears that, when executing a merge, a repository is deemed a "foreign
> repository" based on a simple match of the url.
> This is often wrong. A DNS search domain, multiple hostnames, etc can all
> fool
> subversion into thinking it is using a foreign repos when this is not the
> case.
> Wouldn't it be just as easy to use the Repository UUID to make this
> determination?
