I'm going to sound like a politician... It depends on how you define
"true".

Repositories can have subfolders (just like any directory can), however they
are totally ignored by the toolkit. For all practicle purposes, **YES**,
they are flat.

Short answer: yes

True yes, but there is a workaround for files that have same names.
For instance if you need to have 2 files with same name you can name them differently and put them in repository.
In your component you will give destination path and dest file name so during the build process you will have names that you
originaly wanted on place where you wanted them in.

It is a bit of manual work to create component but it is not too much trouble.

Oh it's a *right* pain when you're doing, say, Perl, and you have large
numbers of files all called foo.pm

yeah it is ... i had to write a small application that
would copy all the files from a directory tree and
rename the files when a collision occurred.
the application also created a manifest of copying
process. send me an email if want the source
to the application.
