Those of us old enough to remember the Groucho Marx show will know
what I am talking about when I say that "you have said the magic
word".  I see the duck!

The magic word was "tree" in "moving the shadow files to their own
tree".  We want a *tree* of shadow directories, not just one flat
"place" to put all shadow files.  This is still complicated (what
happens if the user reorgs the original tree?) but it is a lot simpler
than a flat repository.

Still, in spite of the duck, I am leery of the complexities.  But yes,
I do understand that many people want this.
