Qubes OS version:

R4.0 rc4

Affected TemplateVMs:

debian-9, for example

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. run qvm-copy without arguments in order to get help about it.

Expected behavior:

usage: qvm-copy FILE [FILE ...]

Copy FILE to
   ~/QubesIncoming/{{substitute hostname here}}      in the destination VM.

You'll be prompted for a destination VM.

If FILE is a directory, it will be copied recursively.

Seems like it also preserves permissions.

Actual behavior:

usage: /usr/bin/qvm-copy-to-vm [--without-progress] dest_vmname file [file]+

Add proper help text to qvm-copy tools and fix incorrect behavior
for qvm-move

Added more descriptive usage text to the
qvm-copy/qvm-move/qvm-copy-to-vm/qvm-move-to-vm family of tools.
Also fixed bug that removed the file being moved for qvm-move-to-vm,
but not for qvm-move.
