Ulf,

What do you mean by "name-based GUIDs"?

See RFC 4122 - http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=4122.
Buidling parts of the GUID from the current SVN version might be the way to go - names don't fit well into GUID's ;-). 
They do if you hash them - see version 3/5 UUIDs.
Hmmm, interesting and good to know - as I might need this RFC info somewhere else!
However, where do you see this name? The SVN version is just a number currently with 5 digits, probably more in the future.
Even the releases will have a unique SVN number, so using it for the GUID should do well .... 

I can't see any name here ;-)

Regards, ULFL
