4000 is no (integer) power of ten, so would not really be better.
Quick, in which directory is revision 421712? (see KDEs repository)
If I understand you correctly, you want to have
0/1
0/2
0/3
...
0/3999
1/4000
1/4001
...
2/8000
and so on. Right?
I'd prefer to have a *real* (integer :-) power of ten, eg. 1000. And TBH, 4000
is a bit too much (for me, at least) - 1000 would be high, but acceptable.
(I'd really prefer 100 and 3 or 4 levels - but I seem to be alone with that.)
So naturally I'd like to have an option to specify that on creation time.
If this number would go into an existing file (format, fs-type), it would not
require another read; and if we allowed not one, but two such numbers here,
the repository could be re-arranged on-line.
(The fs-layer had to be looking for both files until one was found - as was
already recommended).

+1
Have you seen my mail regarding the transaction-directories? Maybe the naming
there could be done with the same function.
Thank you!
