Author literature on project organization

Are there any literature/studies on project organization/directory
structure and the
costs associated with it?

I.e. -- file sizes, directory sizes, -- why have a tree structure
rather than a flat structure...

I have a lot of "opinions" from viewing lots of projects, lots of other
people also have
their own "opinions" -- anything better than sticking a finger in the
air to test the wind?

Oh, sure there are.

AFAIK Sun has published some blueprints about project directory tree
structure. And you could check out maven -- they have their own way
of structurizing software artifacts too.

IIRC the more proper term is 'factorization'. That is: distribution
of responsibilities between objects and classes. The file structure
of the project should express the project's metamodel factorization.
