Right. And, that _is_ the insightful way to look at it that suggests
(but does not compel) the conclusion that this an issue to address
within arch. You're hitting me where I live there.
That's why, for example, I'm open to things like the ci-lint
suggestion.
However: re-ordering the patch-log tree order (for example) is:
(a) fairly massively disruptive for users who don't care a whit
about this issue.
(b) not a complete solution by any means nor a progressive step
towards a complete solution
(c) based on the premise that a set of folks cooperating on an
arch-managed project and wanting that project to be ci-safe
are, nevertheless, somehow unable to enforce among themselves
a convention of not using ci-colliding names.
In other words, a disruptive non-solution to a non-problem.
arch does, in several areas, need to confront the general issue of the
various filesystem namespaces in the world. It's a difficult,
intricate issue -- and the particular suggestion you've been
advocating for doesn't have a lot going for it.
