I know, this was a difficult decision.  At the time it seemed more
important that you know there is a directory with information.  But it
does get in the way sometimes, just like "CVS" directories get in the
way.

You can't change it.  But it's set in one place in Global.py.  If you
change that file or make it an option you can get different behavior.
But obviously this is the kind of option that makes Aap much less
predictable, I'm not sure I want to support setting it in the recipe.
