S3 Legacy Layout
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Repositories in a backend based on an object store (e.g. Amazon s3) have
the same basic layout, with the exception that all data pack files are
directly saved in the ``data`` path, without the sub-directories listed
for the filesystem-based backends as listed in the previous section. The
layout looks like this:

The s3 backend understands and accepts both forms, new backends are
always created with the former layout for compatibility reasons.
