Use of $rootScope to contain currentUser

[mcshaz]

Thank you for this excellent piece of angular code. This is probably not an issue, but the parentController has the function

var setCurrentUser = function(){
    $scope.currentUser = $rootScope.currentUser;
}

Isn't enclosing the page contents in a parentController exactly for the specific reason of avoiding use of $rootScope (other than listeners)?

I ended up not even storing the currentUser in the rootScope, rather using the UserSession singleton :)
