Wouldn't this just be the same giant splat of source files, but in a
different tree? I don't really see the advantage, and it seems like an
extra annoyance. Besides being just one more directory to go up and
down, it does make history browsing more annoying. As much as I love
git's "don't record renames" philosophy, our handling of renames on the
viewing side is often annoying. I already get annoyed sometimes
following stuff across the s!builtin-!builtin/! change. This would be
like that but more so.

Or maybe it is a good thing for that reason, as we will eat our own
rename dogfood. :)

Ugh, more typing. :P
