Real bug, thanks for finding/reporting it.

|

| glob).
|
| 3. Tar up the source directory and untar it in the destination.
|
| Each of the three has benefits and drawbacks -- I guess I'd lean towards

Everyone else seems to be on holiday, so I guess I'll look into it (unless
you want to send a patch? :-).)
