I believe the confusion arises from the fact, that there is a naming
inconsistency.
If we could come up with good names to the things involved, then that might
suggest a clean solution. It seems that the problem is caused by a project
and
a repository is somehow intermixed. That might suggest a solution to keep
project-name as is, as primary key, and add a separate repository field...
or not.
Does that make sense?
