Copy Files: copy

The command copies (clones) the folder tree and all the files from the source view to the target view.

The new folder and file tree are not shared. Every new file and folder is its own root share, with a single revision.

The target view needs to be an empty view, with no files or folders, anywhere in the view tree of the project.

Empty views are best created as non-derived views anywhere in a view hierarchy.

The source view may be any view in the project.
