Description (last modified by daira)
In Tahoe-LAFS v1.10.0, tahoe cp -r used to only copy a directory's children, and not the directory itself. This was inconsistent with cp, and ticket #712 fixed that issue.
However, now that #712 is fixed, there is no way to copy the children of a directory on the grid without also copying the parent. This ticket proposes a new --children-of option that would mimic the (incorrect) behavior of tahoe cp -r as of Tahoe-LAFS v1.10.0.

I think --children-of should require all of its arguments to be directories. The behaviour when there are children of the same name in multiple argument directories should also be well-defined (either an error, or last-argument-wins would be reasonable choices).
