So I just realized today by accident that you can have subdirectories within the
Objects
folder of a SDF project. Anybody know of any use cases where you would want to organize the
.xml
files into directories?

Large projects might be organized better by creating folders for fields, records, scripts, etc.

i use it a lot when i'm using SDF to migrate to production - i don't want to migrate everything all at once b/c it makes it harder to troubleshoot errors, takes forever, and because there may be dependencies where i want to wait to deploy something. but i don't want to re-deploy everything from the project when i do another round of deployment, so i create different folders and update my deploy.xml file to point to the folder within Objects that i want to deploy at that time.

I have used ^ both of these in the past.

I've tended to be very specific with deploy.xml - indiviudal files rather than entire folders
but I have used folders under Objects just for organization purposes

I'll usually create folders for each record and field type for monolithic account customization projects
