This handles a special case that in fact should be included in a 
more common case. For instance, running 'hg copy d* c' in a 
directory that contains directories "d1", "d2" and "c" should copy 
the whole subtree of "d1" under "c/d1" and the whole subtree of 
"d2" under "c/d2". As far as I understand, this is different from 
invoking copy or rename with --parents.

Does this correspond to the expected behavior?
