That's correct - if you have parent directories in your manifest,
puppet will have child files/folders autorequire the parent(s).
The file { [ '/foo', '/foo/bar' ]: } syntax is currently the best way
to achieve this, although with a Parser function you could split a
full path into an array of resources to be managed, to cut down on
typing/repetition.
I recall Paul Lathrop was working on upwards recursion a while back..
There's a ticket open with some details in Redmine.
