Feature: Directory color override files color for --hide files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm generating a daily-activity "cloud view" with a custom format. At the end 
of each day I add a modify for each modified directory with a color based on 
the daily activity. This has a diminishing effect the more files exist under a 
directory.

E.g.

1234|A|dir|00FFFF
1234|A|dir/file1|00FF00
1234|A|dir/file2|00FF00
...
1234|A|dir/file99|00FF00
86399|M|dir|00FFFF|end of day1
87400|D|dir/file99|FF0000
172800|M|dir|FF0000|end of day2

Because 98 of the files under dir are 00FF00, dirs entry shows as 00FF00 
despite the directory modification entry.

Gource kind of assumes every entry is a file. If it detects something it 
thought was a file is actually a directory, the 'file' gets silently removed 
(ie the file for 'dir' would be removed when the dir/file1 is encountered).

I can kind of see what you're trying to do though I'm not sure there's an 
elegant way to fit it in with how Gource actually works.

I've ensured that all of my folders have a trailing slash. I'll look at the 
code and see if I can maybe add an option that detects this and adds an extra 
bloom for the folder that encompases the files; thus if you are showing files, 
you'd have an ambient bloom set behind the files. If the files are hidden, 
you'd get the two colors blended.
