There would be at least one obvious benefit: currently, we have this
git$ ls | wc -l
623
(that's after a build)
It's a bit hard to find the interesting bits (README, Documentation/,
contrib/ for example) in the output of "ls".

That can be seen as a test of how good Git is at bulk rename
management ;-).
All that said, I cannot really say whether the benefit is higher than
the cost.
