Allow users to put folders

[heynemann]

An user should be able to put a folder.

When that happens, provy must:
a) Compare local to remote, file by file;
b) If file exists locally but not remotely, copy it;
c) If file does not exist locally, but exists remotely, do nothing (on risk of losing stuff);
d) If file exists on both, but md5 differ, update it;

This way users can still use templates when putting folders.

What do you think of postponing this to 0.6.0? I'm asking for the same reason of the SecurityRole: it will take some time to build, and I'd like to have 0.5.0 released asap.

Sounds good to you?

Perfect.

Why not use rsync?

Pros:

• Simple, just works,
• Established standard
• Support of partial transfer

Cons:

• Opens new connection to host.
• Needs to install packages on both machines.

That's a good idea, Jacek. +1 to using rsync, for me.

Regarding the 2nd con, I'd say we can provision rsync only if that role method is called.

I'll be doing this in the coming days.
