Comment (by cboos):

 The problem is that there are no fixed rules for identifying
 what is a root level directory...

 E.g. you would like to make each release (`/tags/release-x.y.z`)
 downloadable, but certainly not the whole `/tags` folder,
 which might contain dozens of releases...

 Other example, in Trac hacks, the glob pattern would be `/*/*`,
 i.e. anything at the second level, like `/authformplugin/0.9`
 but not `/authformplugin` itself.

 IMHO, a global yes/no flag is useless... Sure you may want
 to disable the feature completely, but when you want to have it,
 you want to have some reasonable control over it, as examplified
 above.

 With the glob patterns, complete disabling is very easy, simply
 leave the option empty, and if control is needed, I can't think
 of a better compromise between simplicity and flexibility than
 a list of glob patterns...
