I really don't like the idea of hidden directories with potentially
critical information. If we are going to have per-bug directories
could we choose an arrangement that sorts a bug and all its attendant
data together in an ls listing? I don't have strong prefs, but as an
random place to start, why not:
N-info
N-dir/
ls does the right thing, and you can ignore all the -dir files if you
want to with a simple "grep -v", or even "ls *-[^d]*" or similar, and
you can make sure to copy all of a bug's related info via "cp -a N-*
dest".
