That's the "detachable subdirectory" functionality that I think we're
willing to give up; I certainly am, seems like many other devs agree.
So we may stop supporting that -- it's been an expensive feature, and
not many users use it (or even know about it).

No, I think we've overcome that now, and that people are okay with one
centralized admin area per working copy (that still allows nesting, of
course, just not detachment). That centralized admin area would be a
full-fledged repository.
