Am I supposed to be allowed to edit .idea/.name ?

I don't really remember which version of CLion this started with, but naming my project by editing .idea/.name seems to be broken. It looks to me that it looks up the project name in the top level CMakeLists.txt file and use that as the name instead. To me it cause the problem that I have multiple copies of the same source project (typically one per big feature I'm working on, like: RBAC, SASL, attributes), but now they all end up in "open recent" as "Couchbase, Couchbase, Couchbase, Couchbase" so I have absolutely idea on how to tell them apart.

Is this a bug or a feature? I'm currently running:

CLion 2016.3.2
Build #CL-163.10154.43, built on December 21, 2016
