I'm slightly confused by this patch. You know about `-c`, right? I think
the appropriate way to do this would be to have another flag that does a
multiline copy. That's not hard to do, if there's demand for it, I can
write a patch.

In general I think you should keep the username as part of the file path
(that is, it would be foo/bar.com/username).
