should ipfs cat dirhash work?

[satyamakgec]

When ipfs cat 'any-dirhash' is performed I get the following error : Error: this dag node is a directory
.

@satyamakgec This goes back to very old 'unix holy wars'. In BSD systems, you can cat a directory, and get raw directory information. On linux, this is not the case. We have chosen to take the linux style approach, though I don't disagree with the other camp
