Enhancement - Parent template folders

[pykong]

I believe it would be very helpful to every user of copier to allow for DRYer templates. Common redundancies across templates which can not be addressed via the current functionality of copier are:

• sets of files (e.g. all my web templates feature the same set of static files)
• contents of copier.yaml (e.g. I always run the same seven tasks, regardless of the project)

Potential solutions:

• allow to inherit an entire folder: all folders of a given path will be copied over to the new rendered folder
• allow inheritance of copier.yaml files where a parent template can be included

EDIT:

I believe this issue is not clear enough. In part because I wasn't sure what I was looking for.
I am working on making the idea clearer.

I'm going to close the issue for now

Yes, sure this issue should not turn stale while I am still making up my mind. ;-)
