Re: Making import syntax more consistant

Hello.

Just a note..., I would expect a slightly different behaviour.

I would expect this to import ./graphics/bsp into the repository root,
-> file://path/to/repos/bsp/readme.txt

I think my expectation is due to cp, mv, rsync, etc. which AFAIK all
work on the named directory if the target is an existing directory and
I think about the repos path as a directory.

I am not sure, if the other way would be a better one. I only wanted
to mention this.
