The xcopy script is used to recursively copy one directory to
another. Its syntax is:
xcopy sourcedirectory targetdirectory
If targetdirectory does not exist, it is created. If it does exist, the
files of sourcedirectory are directly copied into it, and no
subdirectory called sourcedirectory is created, unlike with
cp -rf.
This command is a big kludge. A proper implementation would take a rework of significant parts of mtools, but unfortunately I don't have the time for this right now. The main downside of this implementation is that it is inefficient on some architectures (several successive calls to mtools, which defeats mtools' caching).
