-------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 The {{{--help}}} text for {{{tahoe cp}}} says:
 {{{
 ... Arguments should probably not have trailing slashes.
 'tahoe cp' does not behave as much like /bin/cp as you
 would wish, especially with respect to trailing slashes.
 }}}

 But this doesn't tell me how {{{tahoe cp}}} behaves with trailing slashes,
 and I also don't know how {{{/bin/cp}}} behaves with trailing slashes, so
 I don't know whether that is the behaviour I would want.

 I looked at {{{man cp}}} on Linux to see how it documented {{{cp}}}'s
 behaviour with trailing slashes, and it didn't say, apart from documenting
 this option:
 {{{
    --strip-trailing-slashes
           remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument
 }}}
