I'm having a hard time replicating the behavior of the unix 'cp -r' command
given a path to a directory because I can't find a way to determine the
basename of the directory path. For example, this fragment:
<property name="etc.dir" value="/etc" />
<copy todir="/tmp">
<fileset dir="${etc.dir}" />
</copy>
places a copy of the contents of /etc into /tmp rather than creating a /tmp/etc dir
with the same contents of /etc. Is there a way to do this without breaking the
to copy directory path into its parent path and basename?
