Note that nobody else has chimed in yet, so it's just me being difficult, as
usual. ;-)

My original intent was to start a new convention of having code for a specific
mib in a directory named after that mib. At the time, we didn't have the
option to move existing code, or I probably would have. Though then one
wouldn't be able to assume that code in mibgroup/*-mib/ was a rewrite, as is
the case now.

Both quite understandable points.

Have you tried Thomas' suggestion of using zip instead of tar? I'm interested
if that works. If so, I'm much more inclined to do that for 5.4.1, and to do
any renaming/moving in trunk (and moving everything to some to-be-determined
consistent scheme, instead of only dealing with the troublemakers).
