'-r' is not really what's needed, as the "upstream" path is what's
important - i.e. if I want to copy a single file, I woud like to do:

	scp index.php production:

Instead of:

	scp index.php production:/srv/sitename/htdocs

The same issue would occur for rsync, .. it's not 'descendant' paths,
rather the 'ancestor' path.

It may be a simple variation on $PWD, but I have not been able to test
yet.

	Thanks!
