The file{} type can do all of the following:
* manage single files
* manage directories
* manage symlinks
* manage recursive file copies
The intersection of all these bits of functionality makes it difficult
to understand exactly what is going on when you're new to Puppet, and
even experienced users often don't know how combining symlinks/content
management is going to work.
How would people feel about at least splitting out these into their own types?
* symlinks
* recursive file copies
The intersection of files and directories isn't that big a deal, but
we could split out directories too if we wanted.
Thoughts?
