rhg_compute_tools.gcs.cp might not always do what we expect

I'm not 100% positive I wrote the cp command correctly to handle cases where you are copying directories to other directories. The rules for exactly how the copy is conducted, depending on whether or not you specify -r, whether you are using single or double wildcard characters, and whether you are copying files or directories, are quite complicated. It's making my head spin and so I gave up trying to fix things for now. sync is often a simpler and easier option b/c you know you are syncing a directory to a directory. But at some point, we should take a look at cp and make sure it's working appropriately.

Can you outline the behavior we want for rhg_compute_tools.gcs.cp with some concrete examples here, @bolliger32?

[bolliger32]

Yeah, will do when I get some time. In general, the way the others work is to first call the appropriate gsutil command and then create all the necessary directories in gcsfuse so that you are actually able to see the files (b/c gsutil won't do that). It's just a little more complicated with cp than with sync b/c you could be copying either folders or files and you can use wildcards, etc. I'll put some examples up when i get a chance
