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.
