Chef::ChefFS::FileSystem::BaseFSObject#create_child

Create a child of this entry with the given name and contents.  If
contents is nil, create a directory.

NOTE: create_child_from is an optional method that can also be added to
your entry class, and will be called without actually reading the
file_contents.  This is used for knife upload /cookbooks/cookbookname.
