GitHub Folders

I would love to be able to organize my repositories within folders. Right now, when someone views my list of repositories, there is a mix of client side and server side and various technologies. With folders, I could arrange my repos into a client/ folder and server/ folder. A better example might be a project like ExpressJS. For illustration purposes, assume I wrote it and maintain the repositories for it. mschwartz/Express/ mschwartz/Express/core - the core ExpressJS mschwartz/Express/gzip - add gzip layer to ExpressJS mschwartz/Express/ssl - add https layer to ExpressJS Or if I want to fork someone else's repositories to create pull requests: mschwartz/PR/ mschwartz/PR/some-repo mschwartz/PR/some-other-repo Backward URL compatibility needs to be considered. Perhaps mschwartz must have every folder leaf repository have a unique name. Thus: mschwartz/Express/core and mschwartz/Foo/core would be invalid. Only one "core" allowed. The alternative to folders is organizations, which are way too heavyweight for many uses. An organization for Express as described above is fine, but for PR it seems like an ugly solution.
