If ending a symlink with a slash is supposed to mean 'refer to the
directory it points to', I imagine ending a directory with a slash is even
more so. Then why, oh, why, 'cp -R' copies only the content of the
directory in the new location????
man cp:
-R If source_file designates a directory, cp copies the directory and
the entire subtree connected at that point.
Why do I have the feeling something goes terribly wrong here?
