Description

Environment

45.2 dev in mekhq Windows 10, java 1 1.8.1

Refitting foot infantry into custom jump infantry "Hectan Shock Troopers" No refit kit available for the configuration I want of course, and I cannot rename the unit to its new correct name because of name conflicts, even though their configuration is identical. This results in me having to come up with a new name every time I want to refit an infantry unit into one of these units.

Unit: Hectan Shock Troopers Elite Configuration.zip

Should occur with any infantry though.

Research direction
Inspect the infantry refit code to identify why identical configurations cause name conflicts when renaming.
