I think this is the crux of our disagreement. I don't agree that your
proposal is any way more "proper" than what is there now. Leaving the
rename issue aside (i.e., if we were starting a new project), I would
still be slightly against a src/ directory. I find them annoying.
But I don't care _that_ much, and I would rather not waste either of our
time debating it more. I would much rather you spend your time on
pack v4. :)

For the record, part of my argument was that renaming is annoying to
some degree in _all_ systems, not just git.

I did also say that. :)
