Comment (by nejucomo):

 If there were a tahoe-side globbing feature, the error messages in option
 3 could say:

 """
 To copy the contents of this dircap into an existing destination directory
 append /*; eg:

   tahoe cp -r "$DIRCAP/*" /path/to/existing/dir

 To create a new directory with the contents of this dircap, specify a new
 local directory name; eg:

   tahoe cp -r "$DIRCAP" /path/to/nonexisting
 """

 A glob feature would allow the explicit indication of whether a bag, or
 the contents of the bag, should be copied.
