No disagreement with that at all.  As I tried to convey, having the
respin1 tree around is a good thing, just not what is expected at that
location.  If it is your personal server it is no big deal, but if it is a
public mirror it might cause some confusion.

Without looking too hard at it, I would guess that hardlinking would give
you both trees with very little increase in used space.  Somewhere Red Hat
used to have a script that would go through the two trees and make the
hardlinks for you...
