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:Seattle.jpg ~ fails with the following assertion traceback, while tahoe cp tahoe:Seattle.jpg ~/Seattle.jpg succeeds.

Marks-MacBook-Pro-5:tahoe-fork markberger$ bin/tahoe cp tahoe:Seattle.jpg ~

AssertionError: precondition: 'Seattle.jpg' <type 'str'>

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

All four cases should succeed.
