This is actually a bad idea.  While many filesystems today have binary
tree directory structures, some still do not.  Allowing too many
miscellaneous sounds in a single directory is not only difficult to
browse, it may also consume inordinate amounts of CPU, memory, and
user time attempting to process the directory structure.

Hard links and symlinks do not translate well to CVS.
