kitty ssh kitten copy command erratic behavior

[rickysarraf]

Hello All,

Kitty is awesome and I enjoy many aspects of it.

I think I may have uncovered a bug in kitty's ssh kitten's copy command. Consider the below:

hostname chutzpah mini-amd amd-mini-hp
interpreter python
copy --glob --exclude ssh.conf .config/kitty/
copy --glob .config/nvim/*
copy .xonshrc

With the above, I expect all of my local ~/.config/kitty/ to be copied to the remote machine. But on the remote host, the contents of say ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf is the content of ~/.xonshrc

I'm following the example from the official docs.

• https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/ssh/#a-real-world-example

In summary, the 2 variations of the copy command do not work together. I'm left with the choice to only copy ~/.xonshrc and live with it. Basically, the last copy command is overriding the content of the previous copy commands.

Adding more output to make it obvious.

... snipped ...

The other way to show it is:

Loaded function prompt:  stock_prompt
⛢ 20:04:23 rrs@priyasi ~  
@ .ssh chutzpah
Loaded function prompt:  stock_prompt

@ wc -l .kitty-a-rc
391 .kitty-a-rc

♅ 20:04:38 rrs@chutzpah ~                                                               ☸

@ 

As you can see, all the files have content from ~/.xonshrc
