Normally a content item is assumed to be located in a subdirectory with the same name as the item. In some cases, however, it is useful to explicitly specify the subdirectory. For example, many macros may be located within a single subdirectory, but each have their own entry in the package.xml file. It also provides backwards-compatibility support for packages that predate the package.xml file format specification, and do not follow the expected subdirectory structure. Often in these cases, a " ./ " is used to indicate that the item is not located in a subdirectory at all.
