I actually kind of like that idea, as it makes the interaction between old and new names much simpler to reason about. And since old code won't know about the new names anyway, there's in theory no downside. In practice, of course, the encoding may often be a noop, and lazy scripts would continue to work most of the time if you didn't change out the prefix directory. I'm not sure if that is an argument for the scheme (because it will suss out broken scripts more consistently) or against it (because 99% of the time those old scripts would just happen to work). > > This is exactly the reason why I wanted to get some opinions on what the > > best thing to do here would be.

Do you care about case-folding issues (e.g., submodules "FOO" and "foo" colliding)? I'm OK if the answer is "no", but if you do want to deal with it, the time is probably now. -Peff
