with. I suggest creating a test setup and experimenting to get a sense
of what you want.
The reason `mfs` is not the default `category.create` policy is
historical. When/if a 3.X gets released it will be changed to minimize
confusion people often have with path preserving policies.
`epmfs` is the default `category.create` policy because `ep` policies
are not going to change the general layout of the branches. It won't
place files/dirs on branches that don't already have the relative
branch. So it keeps the system in a known state. It's much easier to
stop using `epmfs` or redistribute files around the filesystem than it
is to consolidate them back.
