A real-life use case would be this one:  
Imagine a user who prefers storing their posts organized by date. (e.g. `content/2023/01/...`).  
In addition, they write an ongoing series of posts named `learn_rust`

```auto
content/
└─2023/ transparent=true
  └─01/ transparent=true
    ├─post1.md
    └─learn_rust/
      ├─day1.md
      └─day2.md

```

I would expect the end result to look like:

```plaintext
content/
├─post1.md
└─learn_rust/
  ├─day1.md
  └─day2.md

```

While currently only the posts “bubble up”:

```plaintext
content/
├─post1.md
└─2023/
  └─01/
    ├─post1.md
    └─learn_rust/
      ├─day1.md
      └─day2.md

```

To me, it seems more like a bug, tbh.  
Here’s a [toy project](https://gitlab.com/bemyak/zola-test-transparency) to test this.
