Release Notes:
New Feature
Release Notes Summary:
Previously, mount resources didn't generate automatic dependencies for associated file resources (via autorequires logic). This improvement adds those automatic dependencies.

Given the following catalog:

File[/path/to/dir]

Mount[/path/to/dir]

File[/path/to/dir/alsodir/]

Mount[/path/to/dir/alsodir]

there will be the following autorequires:

File[/path/to/dir] -> File[/path/to/dir/alsodir]

Mount[/path/to/dir] -> Mount[/path/to/dir/alsodir]

but not the following autorequires:

File[/path/to/dir] -> Mount[/path/to/dir]

File[/path/to/dir/alsodir] -> Mount[/path/to/dir/alsodir]

Mount[/path/to/dir] -> File[/path/to/dir/alsodir]

I will seek to remedy this (may be a few days before I PR this).
