Okay, I know this is a stupid newbie question I should know, but...
What's the best way to copy the contents of a directory, including
hidden "." files?
o "cp -R src_dirname/* dest_dirname/" won't copy "." files.
o "cp -R src_dirname/.* dest_dirname/" also copies ".." and "." (Right?)
o "cp src_dirname dest_dirname/ will copy the src_dirname directory
and its contents to dest_dirname/ which is not the desired result.
