Hi, I think the cp command behaves inconsistently.
Given the following directory structure.... /tmp/a/b/c /tmp/x .... the following 2 commands from within /tmp should produce the same result in /tmp/x and /tmp/y cp -a a x cp -a a y ....but they don't. The result is: /tmp/x/a/b/c /tmp/y/b/c If the target directory exists the command copies the source directory itself and its contents into the target directory. If the target directory does not exist it is created but only the source directory's contents are copied.
