Motivation

nix copy --help does not clearly display how to import everything from a local binary cache, which is useful for offline system interactions. The --all flag is used for this purpose, but it is not easy to find and interpret in the current documentation.

Context

#10217

Thanks!

I didn't think about putting that in the examples, but that works pretty well as a way to show it without diluting the description of the command :)

(Not sure why the CI timed out. I've restarted it in the hope that it's just a flake)
