We should include some component of the submodule path in the submodule name to make it possible to identify a particular submodule by its name. At the same time we should be conscious of the fact that the submodule path may change. Including the entire submodule path in the submodule name is likely to confuse users if the path changes. The basename is the component of the path which is least likely to change, which is a factor in favour of its inclusion in the submodule name.
