I don't know git too terribly well.  I know if this was cvs, then you'd have
only one directory (all the filenames are dup'd) and only use cvs commands to
check out particular tags, you'd *never* duplicate like I see here, it'd be
unprofessional.  Git I can't talk about, I just don't know it very well.
