I agree that removing the gaps are not necessary.

The comments may be useful. If you decide to keep it please review
it for consistency. The comments should not increase confusion.
For example,
* in one instance you refer to "info" and "base" as components, in
  another you refer to them as directories, which is confusing since
  there is a "info" directory but no "base" directory.
* related to previous item, the comments start by referring to the
  "info" and "base" components but then the comments switch to
  describing a "info directory structure and "group structure"
* the separator (---) is used above a header in one instance and
  below a header in another
* in some places you use the syntax:
	--> <flag name> (<dir name>, <dir name>)
  in other places you use:
	--> <flag name>
	   --> (<dir name>)
	   --> (<dir name>)
