Just a reminder to folks wishing to paint the shed that whatever naming
scheme we have will need to be extensable with clash-protection, and
very likely we'll want to ensure that we can reuse the unique filename
code we already have in Subversion which first tries to create a file
named PATH + SUFFIX, and failing that (because such a file already
exists) tries PATH + "." + INTEGER + SUFFIX. So, for example, if
someone had a mine-foo.doc file already in their directory, Subversion
would want to create something like mine-foo.2.doc.
I don't see how that fact would negatively affect any of these proposals
-- just wanted to make sure folks with particular aesthetic desires were
planning for both the common and less common cases.
