Description
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
