Re: [orion-dev] Site Mappings FriendlyPath

[John J Barton <johnjbarton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you should drop this field or define that it must be equal to
the git Name field.

As it is there are too many fields that are kinda but not quite
identifiers. Id, Name, FriendlyPath, Location, ContentLocation.

Apparently the canonical ID is ContentLocation (sometimes spelled Location).

Given ContentLocation, you can look up the git record and pick Name for UI.

That means that Id is redundant and confusing or it can be derived by
algorithm from ContentLocation.
