The first statement is in a paragraph describing the identification of a
layer within the Source directory, i.e. its name begins with "meta".

The second statement is describing the naming of the folder that will
contain a new layer, i.e. pre-pend the name with "meta".

I'm not sure I see the contradiction here.  Can you explain?
