| 10 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 11 | -------- | |
| 12 | stg cp [OPTIONS] <file|dir> <newname> | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | stg cp [OPTIONS] <files|dirs...> <dir> | |

| 16 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 17 | ----------- | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | Make git-controlled copies of git-controlled files. The copies are | |
| 20 | added to the Git index, so you can add them to a patch with | |
| 21 | stglink:refresh[]. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | In the first form, copy a single file or a single directory, with a | |
| 24 | new name. The parent directory of <newname> must already exist; | |
| 25 | <newname> itself must not already exist, or the command will be | |
| 26 | interpreted as one of the second form. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | In the second form, copy one or several files and/or directories, into | |
| 29 | an existing directory. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Directories are copied recursively. Only the git-controlled files | |
| 32 | under the named directories are copied and added to the index. Any | |
| 33 | file not known to Git will not be copied. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | CAVEATS | |

38 | This command does not allow yet to overwrite an existing file (whether |
| 39 | it could be recovered from Git or not). Further more, when copying a | |
| 40 | directory, the second form does not allow to proceed if a directory by | |
| 41 | that name already exists inside the target, even when no file inside | |
| 42 | that directory would be overwritten. | |

| 44 | FUTURE OPTIONS | |
| 45 | -------------- | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | --all:: | |
| 48 | Also copy files not known to Git when copying a directory. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | --force:: | |
| 51 | Force overwriting of target files, even if overwritten files | |
| 52 | have non-committed changes or are not known to Git. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | --dry-run:: | |
| 55 | Show which files would be added, and which would be modified | |
| 56 | if --force would be added. | |
