It would decouple "name" from "identity as represented in the git merkle
tree", thus allowing name changes to occur without affecting hashes and
the like. I see no possible reason for UUID changes, as UUIDs (by
themself) are not personally identifying. This of course would not
allow retroactive splitting/merging of identities, but I feel like
permitting that is incompatible with the idea of identities anyhow.
