Hmm, let me find out more information about why this is the way it is.

Hey @pengwynn! I would have expected a directory to be a JSON object containing properties about the directory and a property containing an array of the files in the directory. Can you explain the rationale for the current approach? http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-contents

But this returns an array of what I assume are just the contents of the directory. Is that right?
