I'm really not interested in tool comparisons here, but Puppet has not
done the recursive thing either and actually takes the position you have to
spec out every file path along the way.
I suspect Damien meant:

this. But is there a way to massage ansible into doing this?

guess there's no ansible module for augeas yet.
