1) Can those directories themselves contain subdirectories (and 
sub-subdirectories, ...), or is it just one level deep?

2) Is there any restriction on the names of the files (e.g. ignoring 
hidden files, editor backups, etc), or can they be anything?

If I'm reading the current Portage implementation correctly, the answers 
there (without making any claims about what the spec should or shouldn't 
adopt) are:

1) Yes, there can be multiple levels of subdirectories.

2) Yes, files and subdirectories beginning with a . or ending with a ~ 
are excluded, as are subdirectories named CVS, RCS or SCCS.
