There is something to be said for consistency. If most Apache projects do as mynewt did, then I think we should do similarly.

I think we've been instructing everyone to clone so you end up with this hierarchy: <somedir>/ |-nuttx |-apps So really the URLs to clone from shouldn't interfere with whatever the filesystem supports, right? Besides, if we're worried about hyphen support in the filesystem, Alan pointed out [1] that we have lots of source files with hyphens in the names, so we'd need to rename all of them.
