Two accounts can have the same public key

[patrickmcsweeney]

Two accounts can have the same public key but when you go to push as with the key the first account in the database is always used. This means it is possible to create a repository which you can not push to. My suggested fix is check if a public key is already in use before adding it and tell the user accordingly. That should prevent it from ever happening.

I think that was already a thing that got fixed. Possible that existing dupes weren't cleaned up though.

It may be that the fix is something we have not yet deployed on live. I
will look at the code. Kev and Andy are looking at few things this week.
