                will actually have <literal>archive-z2</literal>, as that's the

                <listitem><para>
                    Set the collection ID of the repository. Remotes in clones
                    of this repository must configure the same value in order to
                    pull refs which originated in this repository over peer to
                    peer.</para>

                    <para>This collection ID must be persistent and globally
                    unique. It is formatted as a reverse DNS name (like a D-Bus
                    interface). It must be set to a reverse DNS domain under your
                    control.</para>

                    <para>This option may be omitted (the default) to leave
                    peer to peer distribution unsupported for the repository. A
                    collection ID may be added to an existing repository in
                    future to enable peer to peer distribution from that point
                    onwards.</para>

                    <para>If the collection ID is changed for the repository
                    in future, peer to peer distribution of refs from the
                    repository will break for all peers who do not update their
                    remote configuration to the new collection ID.
