Thanks for the suggestion
For some (many?) purposes, yes, Like for downloading an entire
tree, of course.
But say I'm grabbing files about a given subject. I google
the subject-name, and find some stuff here, some there,
some of them buried way down in some dir-structure --
and for this kind of thing, I want all of them that
I've checked out to be good stuff to be stuffed into
the same directory, like maybe
myHistoryDoc/historyOfEmacs/
What then?
Thanks,
David
