Hi
My only concern is that this would make any large outstanding patches to this area practically unappliable. I'm thinking particularly of Oliver's (still-unsubmitted?) work. AFAIK CVS doesn't cleanly track renames so poor Oliver would have to manually reproduce all the file-shuffling before his branch would be mergable.
Oliver's patch only impact d3d8/d3d9/wined3d directories So Christian can play with ddraw without problems :)
Anyway it will be interesting to keep history for future ddraw changes :)
