Hi Anna,

I was away from the office for 3 weeks. Sorry for the late answer.

I have read Gabor's patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D10305, and I see that patch has now accepted. I also agree with his approach and your comment for checker identification as well.

But the reason why I made BugId was for HTML report comparison. As you mentioned before, CmpRuns.py does not work with HTML files, but we need to know which HTML report is newly generated among the entire HTML bug reports.

We can get limited source location information with current CmpRuns.py. But I think we can also compare two different sets of HTML bug reports, then show which HTML reports are newly generated. HTML report can be more helpful for the developers who made the new bugs rather than a single line of bug information in text format.

If you're okay with adding HTML file name in plist for each bug, I will prepare a new patch for that.
Thanks for the review!
