This is also incorrect since you'll replace any dashes that appear.  You
want this:
cd binutils-2.10
for z in `find . -name Repository`
do
  sed -e 's/-2.10//' $z > zzz && mv zzz $z
done

Because "linux-2.3" is being renamed to "linux", so the old "linux" had
to go.  The stuff being moved is very old, and is being moved out of the
way to reduce the amount of cruft in the top level of the repository. 
This should be the last time we have to do this.  After the rename, no
new directories should be created unless absolutely necessary: branches
should be used instead.
