This implements the following scheme:

I hope there's a typo in the last example, otherwise I must have misunderstood something :) Yes, typo.
We take up to the first two characters of each package name as a intermediate subdirectory, and then the full package name lives underneath that.
Why, you ask? Well because earlier today the AUR hit 32,000 entries in the unsupported/ directory, making new package uploads impossible. While some might argue we shouldn't have so many damn packages in the repos, we should be able to handle this case.
Why two characters instead of one? Our two biggest two-char groups, 'pe' and 'py', both start with 'p', and have nearly 2000 packages each. Go Python and Perl.
Time to move to ext4, eh? No, seriously: Something tells me that we should neither be filesystem dependant nor depend on the current distribution of package names. Using some better hash algorithm might fix the second problem while reducing predictability for the end user. We wouldn't be the first to use a scheme like this, so it felt like the right choice. See for example: http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/D/Django/Django-1.3.tar.gz (one letter only) http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SR/SRI/Mojolicious-1.68.tar.gz (segmented by author, multiple levels)
Ext4 came up as an option yesterday, but its best to prevent one from shooting themselves in the foot like this, and this seems like the more proper solution. I do share some thoughts that we shouldn't depend on a certain distribution of package names, but reducing predictability seemed like a big enough downfall that I didn't want to go that way, and moving to this scheme greatly increases the time before we'd hit any problems. If anyone has predictable but scalable solutions I'm more than open to hearing them. Of course, we do provide the URL in the JSON request for a reason.
Given that we will probably run into the same again soon (according to current statistics, there are about two months left), I will apply this temporary workaround and prepare a release soon, though. Yeah, we were able to free ~1000 "spots" or so, so we have breathing room, but not loads of time. I did this via the cleanup script if that wasn't obvious, realize I didn't really say that anywhere.
Still needed is a "move the existing data" script, as well as a set of rewrite rules for those wishing to preserve backward compatible URLs for any helper programs doing the wrong thing and relying on them.
If we provide backward compatible URLs, why not keep them as default? I doubt this will affect performance... It wouldn't- I was more concerned with keeping the AUR deployable as easily as possible, and not tied to a specific webserver and it's hairy configuration of rewrite rules. Making them optional prevents us from having to muck with things at that level.
