I'd like to avoid that. For the moment, I want the re-indexer to work
before I go about changing other stuff ;-)

Quick fix: The user can now enter a repository id to re-index, and after
I got the re-indexing part to work I will try to figure out a way to
show a list of all repositories in a realm.

Sounds better.

The getRepositoryIDs function would be the most convienient for my
purpose, but I don't know what others might want to do with it. I don't
know if the default repos have internal IDs or not, but if they don't
then that should be fixed imho. 

I will look into it and code something up soon ;-)
