I know what we'll do. We'll imbed the directory name and the subdirectory name into the name of the repository: externalpackages_Chaco-2.2 tutorials_ACTS07 Wait a minute, someone who doesn't know about directories already did that: dft Density Functional Theory solver for Ion Channels [email protected] Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:05:00 -0600 gz RSS Atom dft-fft unknown unknown Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:49:50 -0600 RSS Atom dft-log Density Functional Theory solver for Ion Channels in Logarithmic Variables [email protected] Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:31:52 -0600 gz RSS Atom dft-mg Density Functional Theory solver for Ion Channels with Grid Sequencing [email protected] Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:15:07 -0600 gz RSS Atom dft-rfd Density Functional Theory solver for Ion Channels with Advanced Electrostatics [email protected] Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:56:52 -0600 Come on guys, it is completely moronic that bitbucket doesn't support subdirectories to hold repositories. No amount of rationalization can provide a reason for this absurdity. Some of Jed's rationalizations are going off the deep end. * In order to not have a Releases directory he states: "I think separate clones for every release is clutter." * "Bitbucket's normal repository summary has space for this bit of text. It doesn't specifically have tags or automatic suggestions of repositories that might be related (but are not forks). I think the summary is good enough." Face it, bitbucket has this really stupid feature. I see no upside to bitbucket and hence I only see a downside, so why change? Except Sean doesn't want to drag his ass over to IIT twice a year and people want to use buggy wireless networks. Tell me the real reason you want to use bitbucket.

Yes. If you can't have that then it is a pretty crappy system. Sort of like IBM 360 where you only had a root directory with a truckload of files in it. In excusable in 2012 (or even 1972).

Let's all stop using google and switch to 1998 Yahoo. It's so much easier to find things by navigating a hierarchy.

all these comparisions don't make anysense to me. perhaps I'm dense.

Whats the 'bitbucket' whay to easily get the info represented by this single link:

http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/

Here I can get 2 baisc type of info - the global info regarding all the repos - and some grouping info - where I can identyfy the related repo collections.

Don't care if its implemented with hierirachal dirs or something else.
