I don't find that to be the case at all. I find this attitude most
prevalent in people who use Subversion, where the limitations of the
system encourage arbitrary aggregation of directory trees that would
be better tracked separately.

With Bazaar, if the tree contains a bunch of directories, it's because
they're all relevant to the project. I certainly *do* care about files
“above” as much as below; if I don't, that's strong a sign that the
sub-tree should be split off into its own project.
