Short answer: NO :-) Long answer: 1. This is not how current source code is organized. Implies additional work and will break compatibility. 2. There will be a problem with git repository. This may not be accepted by Apache or will require additional non-standard work that will not align with how other projects are organized. Top level names should be used. Using nuttx.git is fine but having apps.git among other projects will be confusing (what apps are these?). Also might imply using git submodules. There was a discussion about that and this seems unnecessary complication.
