+<B>OVERVIEW</B>
+ This section provides details about how subdirectories work in gsutil.
+ Most users probably don't need to know these details, and can simply use
+ the commands (like cp -R) that work with subdirectories. We provide this
+ additional documentation to help users understand how gsutil handles
+ subdirectories differently than most GUI / web-based tools (e.g., why
+ those other tools create "dir_$folder$" objects), and also to explain cost and
+ performance implications of the gsutil approach, for those interested in such
+ details.
+
+ gsutil provides the illusion of a hierarchical file tree atop the "flat"
+ name space supported by the Google Cloud Storage service. To the service,
+ the object gs://bucket/abc/def/ghi.txt is just an object that happens to have
+ "/" characters in its name. There are no "abc" or "abc/def" directories;
+ just a single object with the given name.
+
+ gsutil achieves the hierarchical file tree illusion by applying a variety of
+ rules, to try to make naming work the way users would expect. For example, in
+ order to determine whether to treat a destination URI as an object name or the
+ root of a directory under which objects should be copied gsutil uses these
+ rules:
+
+ 1. If the destination object ends with a "/" gsutil treats it as a directory.
+ For example, if you run the command:
+
+ gsutil cp file gs://bucket/abc/
+
+ gsutil will create the object gs://bucket/abc/file.
+
+ 2. If you attempt to copy multiple source files to a destination URI, gsutil
+ treats the destination URI as a directory. For example, if you run
+ the command:
+
+ gsutil cp -R dir gs://bucket/abc
+
+ gsutil will create objects like gs://bucket/abc/dir/file1, etc. (assuming
+ file1 is a file under the source dir).
+
+ 3. If neither of the above rules applies, gsutil performs a bucket listing to
+ determine if the target of the operation is a prefix match to the
+ specified string. For example, if you run the command:
+
+ gsutil cp file gs://bucket/abc
+
+ gsutil will make a bucket listing request for the named bucket, using
+ delimiter="/" and prefix="abc". It will then examine the bucket listing
+ results and determine whether there are objects in the bucket whose path
+ starts with gs://bucket/abc/, to determine whether to treat the target as
+ an object name or a directory name. In turn this impacts the name of the
+ object you create: If the above check indicates there is an "abc" directory
+ you will end up with the object gs://bucket/abc/file; otherwise you will
+ end up with the object gs://bucket/abc. (See "HOW NAMES ARE CONSTRUCTED"
+ under "gsutil help cp" for more details.)
+
+ This rule-based approach stands in contrast to the way many tools work, which
+ create objects to mark the existence of folders (such as "dir_$folder$").
+ gsutil understands several conventions used by such tools but does not
+ require such marker objects to implement naming behavior consistent with
+ UNIX commands.
+
+ A downside of the gsutil approach is it requires an extra bucket listing
+ before performing the needed cp or mv command. However those listings are
+ relatively inexpensive, because they use delimiter and prefix parameters to
+ limit result data. Moreover, gsutil makes only one bucket listing request
+ per cp/mv command, and thus amortizes the bucket listing cost across all
+ transferred objects (e.g., when performing a recursive copy of a directory
+ to the cloud).
