The intersection of files and directories isn't that big a deal, but we could split out directories too if we wanted.
From the user's perspective, it's more like the other way round. We should not let implementation issues guide the design of the manifest language. Files and directories are different concepts, but symlinks to either files or directories are handled mostly transparently.
I would rather suggest a File and a Directory type. Both types should share basic attributes like owner/mode etc and both should support symlinks. Each one has unique attributes: files should support source/content, while directories should support the recursive copy feature.
