Previously, I was able to set setup multiple bridges on the same host to
talk to the same controller like this:

  # ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 tcp:10.0.0.1:6633
  # ovs-vsctl set-controller br1 tcp:10.0.0.1:6633

and it worked. Now, when I try to do that, I get this error:

  ovs-vsctl: transaction error: {"details":"Transaction causes multiple rows in 
  \"Controller\" table to have identical values (\"tcp:10.0.0.1:6633\") for
  index on column \"target\".  First row, with UUID 
  454b1ac9-0698-4035-b925-f8db4a475f4f, was inserted by this transaction.
  Second row, with UUID 23f3b80b-877e-4cdb-972d-8f9928c59b3a, existed in the 
  database before this transaction and was not modified by the transaction.",
  "error":"constraint violation"}

Although I can still do something like this to achieve the same effect:

  # ovs-vsctl -- set Bridge br1 controller=23f3b80b-877e-4cdb-972d-8f9928c59b3a

Should set-controller be handling the case where there already exists a
Controller record for the given target?
