Comment	Maps paths for a repository to a unique id.

Table description

This table maps a repository path to an ID which is unique for the repository. This solves the problem that different persons may access a repository in different ways. For instance, some may refer to a SourceSafe database by drive letter, while other use an UNC path. When AbaPerls checks whether a file is loaded from the same path as the current version in the database, AbaPerls replaces the repository path of the path with the unique id.

A certain path can only appears once in the table, whereas an ID can appear many times.

For legacy reasons, tha column repositoryid permits NULL. The table was added in version L1.0.0250 of AbaPerls, prior to which AbaPerls did not track repository ids. AbaPerls fills in the repository id for a path, on first time it gets the occasion.
