Change Greyhole terminology about greyhole HOT 5 CLOSED

I propose something easy like:

tombstone -> metafile
graveyard -> metadir
attic -> trash

I'm game for helping implement this once something is agreed on.

I think we need multiple names for each: one that would be user-facing (in the documentation), one in the code, and one on the file system.
In the code, I think using shorter versions would be a good thing, while using longer, and more appropriate / easier to understand terminology in the documentation would be beneficial.
On the file system, the directory names should at least have some ressemblance to what the documentation calls them, in order for end users who are sniffing around to easily understand what each folder contains.

Here's my suggestions:
Tombstone(s): Metadata file(s) in the documentation; metafile in the code.
Graveyard(s): Metadata store(s) in the documentation; metastore in the code; .gh_meta or .gh_metastore on the file system.
Attic: Trash in the documentation, trash in the code, and .gh_trash on the file system.

What do you think ?

Sounds good to me.

OK then. Whenever you have time, feel free to work on this and send me a pull request when you're done, and pushed your changes into your GitHub fork.

I changed the wiki to use the new terms, and I added a page (Greyhole Terms) that detail the new terms, and their old equivalents.
