Yes, it will turn into a giant bowl of spaghetti - that's the whole
point of "Distributed" version control systems.

So: don't bother about this. There is certainly going to be a lot of
repository that you don't know about, just as you didn't know about
patches that may have circulated before. If people want you to know
about a clone, they have to tell you - one way of doing that is to
attach its link to a tracker issue.

So what is your constructive proposal?
