Please do not use --force-uuid when the old and new repositories are
not identical! Working copies will explode in exciting ways when they
talk to the new repository and expect it to be the old repository.
That is the reason UUIDs exist -- to ensure that each unique
repository has a universally unique identifier, so that working
copies will be able to tell, via the new UUID, that they are not
talking to the same repository and must therefore abort.
