Hello,
I noticed that the new versions of pcp introduce nicer parsing behavior.
However, I am somewhat confused as it seems to produce incoherent
results in some cases. For example, given an existing /baz directory on
the device:
- "pcp foo/bar :/baz/" copies bar to /baz/bar on the device
- "pcp ./bar :/baz/" copies bar to /baz/bar on the device
- "pcp bar :/baz/" attempts to copy bar into /baz on the device.
If bar is a file, it logically fails since /baz already exists as
a directory.
If bar is a directory, then its contents are spilled among those of
/baz
In the last case, I would typically expect pcp to copy bar to /baz/bar
instead. So I am not sure that the current behavior is intended, and if
it is, I would love to hear some rational about it. Included below is a
patch that restores the expected behavior.
