Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-2339:
-----------------------------------------

I wonder if we could convert these methods from static to members, so it 
becomes  'from.copyTo(to, files)' ?
This opens up the possibility to override.. and.. hmm.. optimize somehow, if 
'to' is of the same type as 'this'.
I believe you can rig some nio-based file copier that bypasses Java completely, 
so you don't have to pass multi-gb indexes through your heap when, say, backing 
up.

> Allow Directory.copy() to accept a collection of file names to be copied
