Permalink configuration allowing directory structure

[jhvanderschee]

There seems to be no way to reflect the directory structure in a section when setting the permalink in the config (and mimic the default behaviour). Adding a variable like ‘:dir’ or ‘:filepath’ would allow using config permalinks in combination with directory structures (without creating subsections).

Default behaviour for section 'cars' (without _index.md files and thus without subsections):

filepath: /content/cars/mercedes/suv/s560.md
URL: /cars/mercedes/suv/s560/

You cannot get this result when setting the permalink in the config. The closest you can get is by using ':sections', but that requires you to use _index.md files (thus subsections).

Something like that would be reasonable yes, but we need to wait a little before doing it ... I'm close to wrap up a spring cleaning PR that, among other things, gets a better defined definition for what a content path is in Hugo (which is not trivial when you think beyond the simple case; consider file mounts, languages, content sources that is not a file, content bundles ...).
