Jiri Kuhn commented on LUCENE-475:
----------------------------------

Wouldn't it be nice to have special method to copy two directories? Like:

public abstract class Directory {
    ...
    public static void copyDirectory(Directory from, Directory to) throws 
IOException {
          // patched code here
    }
}

Because I have different problem how to flush RAMDirectory to FSDirectory. The 
copy operation is more general to be only in RAMDirectory.

>  RAMDirectory(Directory dir, boolean closeDir)  constructor uses memory 
> inefficiently.
