Well, get_repos_root is guaranteed to return a prefix of the passed-in
URL. So, for a new entry there should never be a problem. For an
existing entry you might run into the difficulty you mentioned, in which
case either overwriting the URL or failing to store the repos root would
be reasonable.

Of course, when you go to use the repos root, you'll still have to
handle the case where it's not a prefix of the entry URL since the
entries file might have become corrupt. But erroring in that case
should be reasonable.
