The writable_dirs task makes files also writable

I think there should be distinction like we have with shared_dirs / shared_files.

Probably more intelligent way is to get rid of such difference and have only one shared option witch will able to guess is given argument a file or a directory.

set('shared', ['app/logs/', 'app/config/parameters.yml']);
set('writable', ['app/logs/', 'app/logs/*', 'app/public/whatever']);

Slash at the end treated as directory, file otherwise. Asterisk explicitly says that it is recursive.

Yes, it will be good. But a lot of users will write it without / on end. So we need to guess it on server.

There is improved permissions on writable directories from PR #81

Perhaps this solves the main issue here.

[antonmedv]

Done.
