There was an error though.
Now the last fix. (sent to Chong)
I think that's correct:
Use a new function copy-directory1 that can be reused by copy-directory,
avoiding duplicate code.
This function use an extra arg `create-struct'.
When this arg is used copy-directory1 works like actual copy-directory.
Otherwise it does like before and doesn't break dired.
As i am using dired code in anything, i have inlined this changes in
anything-config.el waiting this patch is applied or maybe another fix if
you have better idea.
Thanks Michael and Chong.
Here the patch:
