Patch-446 implements centralized ids which should fix this problem. Should be in ArX-2.0.

It complicates patching, because we can't just make and create patches to the .arch-ids master file.

We could put everything in one big arch-ids file per project. We couldn't store that in the archive, since we don't have a good way of representing patches other than through the mod-files-index, which is already there.

That would also complicate patching in the same way. It would make "arx move" a little more complicated, since we have to deal with files in directories when moving a directory.

Alternately, we could explicitly link a file to a directory, so that it's tag is a combination of the directory's tag and its own. Then a move would only change one piece of metadata.

This is starting to sound like designing a file system.

We can't simply replace the directory with a file, because that will interact badly with old patches.

This will save a minor amount of space, but is backwards incompatible. It will complicate things a little, because we have to parse the file.
