copyDirectory

Copies a directory

Copies a directory.

## Default S3 method:
copyDirectory(from, to=".", ..., private=TRUE, recursive=TRUE)

`from`	The pathname of the source directory to be copied.
`to`	The pathname of the destination directory.
`...`	Additional arguments passed to `file.copy`(), e.g. `overwrite`.
`private`	If `TRUE`, files (and directories) starting with a period is also copied, otherwise not.
`recursive`	If `TRUE`, subdirectories are copied too, otherwise not.

Note that this method does not use copyFile() to copy the files, but file.copy().

Returns (invisibly) a character vector of pathnames copied.
