Aaand the mail got sent before :)

Then two other comments that are related or I'd like to discuss:

�� - So far we can allow in iceberg several projects with the same name. That is not a problem, so you can clone the same project from two different repositories. Of course this would mean that one will be dirty all the time (in comparison against the image).

�� - I'd like to "rethink" the directory structure. We have chosen to use {owner}/{repository} for some time now, but that is only valid for those hostings that store repositories under a username (e.g., github/gitlab/bitbucket) and is not valid for other kind of git hostings/server (e.g., a home gitolite).

�� This makes that the directory where the repositories are, suddenly mixes different structures {owner}/{repository} and {repository}, and we pay that lack of coherence afterwards... But making a purely flat structure will cause much more name clashes. And there is some story with Metacello compatibility around it too!

�� I'm just not sure what is the bestish solution here. Maybe what we have is good enough, but if somebody would like to prototype around this, I'd be glad to learn more about pros and cons ^^.

Yes, I agree with most of the comments here. I'll try to summarize:

��- we should be able to specify the name of a project independently of their location/repository name
��- Maybe, for old projects that don't have a name, we could initialize a project's name as it's repository name?

What about when there are multiple remotes?

+1 to what you imply here, that the owner/remote should not be auto-coded into the project name.
Remote are well handled within Iceberg.
The user though could add the owner as free text into a custom project name i.e. "owner-project"
