Adjustable Inheritance tree #28

Our software configuration is cascading, but the container for each software is not Open Metadata; it's regular folders, that aren't within the same parenthood.

parent
|-- project
   |-- app_config
   |-- shot5
      |-- app_config

Here, "app_config" under shot5 is supposed to override app_config under "project", but since project/app_config is not within the parenthood of shot5/app_config, we can't rely on the default cascading mechanism of Open Metadata to do as we please.
