No, because the nested working copy is not related in any way to its
parent folder (in your case it happens to be so, but that is not the
general case), so marking the parent as modified would be misleading.

If you have people editing files and folders in a version controlled
area without even knowing that it is version-controlled, that seems
inherently error-prone to me.
