I want my development layout to mirror the internal layout. The way the Directory element is designed, this works wonderfully. The FileSource attribute is for when you want to override this behaviour - and that works fine, too.
But when working with fragments, you lose all the directory context. You lose the SourceName and FileSource context (I tested it with FileSource, too). The only workaround is to specify FileSource on the DirectoryRef element. This causes needless repetition, and you lose all the elegance of the directory structure. Is this a feature, a bug, or just not implemented yet?
