Yes, but it contains code from other subdirectories.  For example, it 
contains all the files in the top level directory, the stuff in intl/, 
the stuff in libiberty/, and the stuff in opcodes/.  A branch made in 
the tree I checked out for binutils will create branches in all of these 
places.  So, we need to get agreement that it's OK to create branches in 
those directories as well.
