Follow the asdf principle that you name files based on the system, and you locate the system thanks to the .asd file.

For the record, I have always had asdf in my source registry; at times when testing cases where it shouldn't be, I renamed the asdf.asd away to asdf.asd.bak, or deleted it to get it back with git checkout asdf.asd > [I think part of the reason this doesn't bother me (and part of the > reason I haven't liked the conf.d approach to setting things up) is that > I have *many* different source registry configurations, for different > projects that use different libraries and even different versions of the > same library.
