Global repository ID stability #5079

Description

@alijdens

Hi folks!

There are a few discussions [1] [2] indicating that both node_id and databaseId are prone to changing over time.

I want to store historical data and associate it to repositories but I cannot rely on the name because repositories can be renamed, so I wanted to know if I could use either node_id or databaseId (i.e. the REST API id) for this purpose. If any of these values change, that can break the relations I store, so some clarification around their stability and uniqueness over time.

Thanks!
