Can I rename the directory pl/tcl to pl/pltcl? Is that OK?

Repo copies are a pain in the butt. :)

Simply cvs rm'ing them and cvs add'ing them will strip all the history,
someone needs to go in and actually copy the files over and mess with
the ,v files so that the earlier versions don't "pop-up" when someone
checks out older source.

If this is a real nessesity and no one has done this before you'll
want to mail Peter Wemm <peter@freebsd.org> and ask him how he
works the magic for us.

It's really better if the names don't change at all.

I agree ... a marginal improvement in consistency of directory names
is not worth the pain involved here.

Besides, some of us would argue that if anything is to be done here,
it should be removing the redundant "pl" from the *other* subdirectories
of src/pl ;-).
