Support alt dirs with deeply nested tracked files #495

Open ian-h-chamberlain opened 1 month ago

ian-h-chamberlain commented 1 month ago

What does this PR do?

Now, as long as there is a tracked file somewhere under the alt directory, it will be linked correctly, instead of requiring the tracked files to be direct children of the alt dir (previous behavior).

What issues does this PR fix or reference?

Closes #490 Related: #328, #356

Previous Behavior

A tracked file had to be a direct child of the ## alt directory for linking the directory to work properly.

New Behavior

Any descendant of the ## alt directory will cause it to be treated as an alt, and the directory itself will be linked (same as previous behavior).

Have tests been written for this change?

Yes: Updated test_alt to use a subdirectory for its contained file as part of the tests. Verified the test failed before my changes and passes after.

Have these commits been signed with GnuPG?

Yes
