Subject: copying a directory to same level
Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:12:37 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Xns9DDBA4E47D3B3zzappergmailcom@80.91.229.10> (raw)

Hi
(Hope this is not too dumb)

I want to duplicate directory vim73 to vim

>cp -r vim73 vim/

if directory vim does not exist then it does what I want.
However if vim/ already exists then vim73/ will be created as a sub-directory 
in vim/ eg vim/vim73

Can you explain this behaviour and how can I force it duplicate to same level 
regardless of whether directory exists
