The issue is if I want to control the parent directory *and* the children.

[path/*] looks like I'm just controlling the children.

How about making it just a flag
[some/path]
recurse=deep
recurse=none
recurse=shallow

Or not worry too much about depth, and have
recurse=true
recurse=false

That makes it obvious and avoids the arcane "what does 2 stars mean?"

You also could have in children "inherit-from-parent=true/false" so that
even if the parent was stated with recursion, the children could turn it
off.

Also, I would like to add that you should be able to set the access
rights for a directory (and all subdirectories) even if that dir is not
a bzr dir. So you can do:

[~/mirrors/bzr]
recurse=true
signatures=require

And then my ~/mirrors/bzr/bzr.dev ~/mirrors/bzr/bzr-format-5, etc will
all have signatures required without having to specify each one.
