Ah, I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to have a link to the GetComponents script itself in the Cactus directory. Yes, a link to the CRL directory makes sense; this is the "standard" way we handle git repositories at the moment.
So I just looked into this, and it seems that GetComponents is not currently equipped to symlink an entire git repo. This is a silly oversight on my part; I can fix it, but that would require another patch to GetComponents. Another possibility would be to create the 'bin' directory and link GetComponents into bin. Then users could call './bin/GetComponents' or possibly './bin/CRL/GetComponents', the latter would allow for documentation to be linked as well.
I suggest to do both, to correct the fact that GetComponents cannot link whole repositories, and to create and use a "bin" directory in Cactus.
You could create a new project. Better now than later... "GetComponents" is a rather specific name and limits the scope of the project.
It is easier to just change the name of the project to CRL. This would change the URL to http://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL. If I do this it would probably make sense to change the URL on my website as well; however, I know that ET and possibly cactuscode.org link to my website. Are there any other pages that link to it?
I don't know. You can set up a permanent redirect on your web server, which will automatically forward people plus leave a log entry on your server telling you which pages to correct.
