I would not judge on likelyhood, but I would say that 'foo' vs
'foo/bar' is something that falls into the same category as "if you
want your project to be cross-platform, don't have paths Foo and foo
both tracked, as some people have to work on case insensitive
systems".
In other words, I think it is perfectly fine as long as the users
are made aware of these issues. One way to deal with such a project
may be to allow users to map 'foo' to 'foo_' to make room for
'foo/bar', but lack of such a feature is not grave enough to block
it from being used---it would be unreasonable to demand the ref
mapping to be implemented before the command is given to the end
users.
