Changes to snapshot directory

I'm looking to change GDB's snapshots/ directory. At present we've:
ftp://sources.redhat/com/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/
ftp://sources.redhat/com/pub/gdb/snapshots/current/
where the first directory contains tarballs from the most recent branch,
and the latter tarballs from the mainline.
The problem I see with this is that it is hard to track a snapshot
series vis:
gdb-6.2.50 -> gdb-6.2.90 -> gdb-6.3 -> gdb-6.3.1
you need to ``just know'' that half is found in current/ and half is
found in branch/.
I can think of two alternatives:
- flatten things - snapshots/
- have separate release series directories - 6.2, 6.3, ...
I've a vague preference for the former,
thoughts?
