> When copying files using distcp with globbed source files, all the matched 
> files in the glob are copied in a single flat directory.  This causes 
> problems when the file structure at the source is important.  It also is an 
> issue when there are two files matched in the glob with the same name because 
> it causes a duplicate file error at the target.  I'd like to have an option 
> to preserve the file structure of the source files when globbing inputs.
