  This is one of the reasons I'm using the small patch below. When
  applied, the name specified with $conf[start] works on all the
  namespaces, not only the root one. In your example, if you have
  $conf[start]='index' then when moving files to the mystuff-namespace
  the original mystuff.txt would be renamed mystuff-namespace:index.txt 
  and other mystuff related files would be moved to mystuff subdir.
  
  BTW, renaming files preserving links is easy using Gary's pagemove
  plugin (http://www.isection.co.uk/)
