Comment (by markberger):

 Replying to [comment:4 davidsarah]:
 > It isn't clear from the bug description or from comment:3 whether it is
 just that a directory specified in the command line won't be created as a
 directory in the destination, or whether ''all'' subdirectories will be
 flattened.

 From my testing it appears that only the top level directories are
 flattened:

 Here is my example folder on the local drive:
 {{{
 tahoe-cp-test/
     readme.txt
     pics/
         rio.jpg
         seattle/
             seattle.jpg
 }}}

 When in the directory tahoe-cp-test/, the command `tahoe cp -r * tahoe
 :tahoe-cp-test/` will output the following structure on the grid:

 {{{
 tahoe-cp-test/
     readme.txt
     rio.jpg
     seattle/
         seattle.jpg
 }}}
