I want to make an angular site dealing with files where users can navigate around in a file system tree, (like on github: github.com/angular/angular.js/tree/master/pat

As of Angular 1.1.5 you can use *path - see here.

path can contain named groups starting with a star (*name). All characters are eagerly stored in
$routeParams under the given name when the route matches.

For example, routes like /color/:color/largecode/*largecode/edit will match /color/brown/largecode/code/with/slashs/edit

As of Angular 1.3, the syntax is :path* (credit to DRAX in the comments)
