I half-agree, the code should decide which fanout scheme to use, but 
_only_ when producing new notes.

I imagine that it could merge the existing notes, and try to make sure 
that there are no more blobs in a given subtree than a certain threshold; 
if that threshold is reached, it could fan-out using 2-digit subtrees, 
merging what needs merging (by concatenation) along the way.

The natural precedence of shallower paths/longer basenames should cope 
well with that (i.e. prefer to show abcd/... over ab/cd/...).

Ciao,
