+Recursive upload / download of multiple files
+---------------------------------------------
+
+virt-tar is really clumsy to use, and upload/download in guestfish can
+only do single files.  tar-in in guestfish can upload multiple files,
+but only if you have prepared a tarball in advance.
+
+What we really need is a method which is as easy to use as 'scp' and
+'scp -r'.
+
+Can we add this as a command in guestfish?  This will be more useful
+since users will already need to be in guestfish in order to create
+target directories, review what they've done etc.  It could be a meta-
+command such as:
+
+  copy-in-recursive localdir remotedir
+  copy-out-recursive remotedir localdir
+
+which would hide use of tgz-in etc.

+Other thoughts on this:
