Inconsistent 'tahoe cp' Behavior — at Version 2

Description (last modified by daira)

When copying a file from the top level of a directory node using the CLI, tahoe requires a file name to be specified.

Ex: tahoe cp tahoe:test.jpg ~ fails while tahoe cp tahoe:test.jpg ~/test.jpg succeeds.

However, when a file is copied from a subdirectory to the local disk without a specified file name, the download will succeed.

Ex: tahoe cp tahoe:test/test.jpg ~ succeeds along with tahoe cp tahoe:test/test.jpg ~/test.jpg.

The CLI's behavior should be consistent. Either require users to specify a file name for all cp actions or allow users to copy files from the top level of a directory to a local directory without specifying a file name.

All four cases in the description should succeed.
