Summary0019074: Rationalize the filenames in the AI War 2 directory
DescriptionThis probably only matters to people who use a CLI for things, but it's a bit annoying that there are multiple AI War directory prefixes, which makes tab completion harder. There are 3 at the moment

AIW2ModdingAndGUI
AIWar2Linux_Data
AIWarExternalCode

It would be cleaner to pick a prefix, be it "AIW2", "AIWar2" or "AIWar". This is somewhat frivolous I admit, but I find it annoying.

Sorry, we're pretty set into the filenames now, particularly for things that contain non-text content. We're using svn, and moving files or renaming folders causes lots of extra data to be generated. Aside from being potentially messy, it loses some of the history (kinda-sorta) for the files, and it also causes (near as I can tell) wasted space on the svn server. We pay monthly for the space we use, so we try to avoid renaming large files.

Oh, yeah, rename and svn do not play well together. It's not a big deal in any case. Thanks for considering!

No problem! If it wasn't for that, I'd definitely be on board with the suggestion.
