Yes that matches my understanding and experience. But I could not figure
out how to, for example in this tree ...

~/A
.
+--proj
|  +--.git
|  +--README.org
|  |  +--Manuscript
|  |  |  +--.git
|  |  |  +--README.org
|  |  |  +--drafts
|  |  |  +--GenomicsData
|  |  |  |  +--.git
|  |  |  |  +--README.org

... publish the README's above GenomicsData, but not in GenomicsData.

But maybe this is asking too much of org-mode publish. 

FWIW, I ended up using a recursive sub- make harness with something like
this in the Makefile ...

.PHONY: html
html: README.html

# export org file to html
%.html: %.org
	emacs --batch --load=~/.emacs $*.org --eval='(org-html-export-to-html)'
