Wrong, it will grep not only specs, but also sources and whole overgrown
metadata, taking more time and returning some junk matches outside specs.

Per-package layout is acceptable to me _as long_ as there will be flat
SPECS dir with symlinked spec files. Server-side symlinks should work
well with CVS (with little server-side overhead?), don't know about
other VCSs.

One more disadvantage: more work when adding new package (1 or 3 mkdirs
+ cvs adds depending on layout - is it going to be
package/{package.spec,package*.patch} or
package/{SPECS/package.spec,SOURCES/package*.patch} ?
