I run dirvish from a wrapper script I wrote for my own systems; it would not be difficult to write a script like that to make the "20070822" daily directories. It would also not be difficult to make a lot of daily directories in advance, that are empty until used. I will ask the local perlmonger's group if there is a good way to replace the "mkdir" in the dirvish script with something that will do "mkdir -p" properly, and that can go into a patch of dirvish, and a future version of dirvish if enough dirvish users want to participate to make that happen.
