That's not how the rest of the world uses the name property. If you
want the location of the repository, that's what the location property
of the Repository class is for. Or use a custom property in our DOAP
extension namespace.

Blip uses the name from the DOAP files to show you nice, human-readable
project names, and has no problems also telling you the location of the
repository.
