Description

If #545 was finished, it would be really great for sops updatekeys to work on a directory tree.

Usecase: There is a .sops.yaml file in a repository with the keys of all team members. Whenever team members come or go, it would be easy to automate or just simplify the process of granting or revoking access to encrypted content.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #545 and the existing sops updatekeys command behavior. Review how .sops.yaml defines repository keys and determine the entry point for processing a single encrypted file. Done means sops updatekeys can apply key changes across an encrypted directory tree.
