[sf-lug] directory tree organization question

[jim]

    symlinks solves the problem of leanness in the 
working directories, but doesn't resolve the naming 
strategic question. 
    And what if I want the OLD stuff on some external, 
removeable media? I might be able to put up with the 
occasional inconvenience of waiting to access old 
stuff until I get home or hook up the external storage.... 
thanks!
