My regular cycle is:
* open subsurface
* download from the ostc
* see how it downloads duplicates of lots of dives, and thus screwing up
  the nice cleaned gas lists
* swear
* quit subsurface without saving
* open subsurface
* download into a private trip
* remove the duplicates from the private trip
* merge the private trip downloads into the appropriate dives.
* vim xml-file , :%s/old_deviceid/new_deviceid/g

So, it happens on a quite regular basis for me.
