Influence H3N2 and H1N9pdm HA datasets duplicate names

[pvanheus]

The H3N2 and H1N1pdm HA segments have two datasets each, but in both cases, the name of the dataset is identical ("Influenza A H1N1pdm HA" with CY121680 and MW6262062 as references and "Influenza A H3N2 HA" with CY163680 and EPI1857216 as references). This makes building pick lists challenging as one needs to include the name of the reference or some other distinguishing feature.

I'd suggest that the names should be changed so that it is possible to distinguish the datasets by name alone.

Hi Peter @pvanheus,

The only unique identifier we can enforce is the path of the dataset in the data repo. So that's what is used as a unique ID. For the rest - dataset authors can in principle do whatever they want and there are not many good ways for us to stop them.

Another thing is that datasets in subdirectories can be added over time, potentially with new features, and so it will require constant renames.

For Nextstrain-owned datasets we could try and rename them if you think it's useful. Feel free to propose the names you see more appropriate. Or, even better, make a PR. Richard and other scientists would then review and make a decision.
