Hi,

	Ingo pointed out to me that in the kernel sources we do not use
file/dir names with uppercase chars (look, for instance, at arch/), so I
mostly scripted a conversion to lowercase and what I got is at:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/vendor_events
   
   https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/log/?h=perf/vendor_events

	I did test it on my Lenovo t450s (Broadwell) and got the same
results as before, and the changed file and directory names don't get
presented to the user AFAIK, so its just a matter of consistency with
the existing practices in the kernel sources, no visible difference to
users.

	Please let me know if you have any technical argument against
this move,

Thanks,

- Arnaldo
