Description

As seen in a large number of issues (#7922, #7738, #5504, more) as well as in community solutions (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39213960), users expect the /ipfs fuse mount to show "files" instead of allowing direct access to ipfs CID's.

the fuse mount for /ipfs should really represent the local MFS filesystem.. it would solve a large number of edge cases when managing files without needing to ipfs add ... ; ipfs files cp ... etc
