In the next release this will be supported.  Applying C to a directory
will copy the directory just like cp -R.  This will work for both
remote and local hosts.  For remote copies, it is fully asynch,
including mkdir commands.

I recall that some time ago Joerg-Martin posted a patch to 1.14 to to
allow synchronous recursive copies.  For technical reasons, making
this work asynch was a bit of a bear.  That's part of why it took me
so long.  However, it's working now.
