Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5826:
--------------------------------------
> 1) I'm throwing an exception on purpose when <basedir> equals some input
> source as I don't see why we should allow this.
Even though it does not seem useful, it is logically correct way to use the
option. Sometimes it might be required, say in automated scripts where argument
to -basedir is not provided by human.
> distcp could have an option to preserve the full source path
