Copy folder with content #351

Description

@stefanstranger

Instead of a single file I want to copy complete folders with content. Is that possible too?

    I don't think you can copy a folder and it's files, although I know you can copy groups of files to a target folder, some of the documentation about creating a manifest lists a relevant (but not quite right) example.

    There's a possibility it's only a small change to add this functionality, or using wildcards will do the trick.

    Try using a double asterisk:

    <file source='myfolder\**' destination="myfolder" />
    

    I have had some success with this, even though it's not explicitly mentioned anywhere in the docs above. If this is intended behaviour, it should probably be added.
