Hi, all:

My folder structure is like:

Quote:
root
----branch1
--------ae
------------kkk
----branch2
--------ae
------------kkk
...
----branch100
--------ae
------------kkk


What I'm expecting to realize is to have my folders look like:

Quote:
root
----branch1
------------kkk
----branch2
------------kkk
...
----branch100
------------kkk


How to realize it?

Cheers
Pei
