 That sounds really really wrong. I think both repositories and tasks 
should use some kind generated ids, so you won't have to rename anything 
and just use those as a cross references.

 Ask any DBA about this, they will tell you how to link two tables 
together and also fhy using business fields for the foreign key is 
really bad idea... :-)
