Have you already applied this? I may have found a bug on it.

I considered applying it tonight, but it raised some more questions on IRC:

   [21:26]<Heffalump>  it effectively throws away the existing cache, right?
   [21:26] * Heffalump is a bit dubious about that
   [21:27]<kowey>  dubious about that being a good idea?
   [21:31]<tux_rocker>  would restructuring the cache be much faster than just
                        rebuilding it?
   [21:32]<idnar>  doesn't throwing the cache away potentially lose data?

I agree with these concerns. Shouldn't it be relatively simple to throw in a fallback to check for non-subdirectory cache files?

At the very least darcs optimize (or a new darcs optimize --cache, even) should be setup to convert caches to subdirectory caches.
