mountpoint: how to copy hidden files

[tiopex]

I'm using mountpoint to fill vfat partition with content, hoever hidden files (with dot at the beginning) are not copied. How to copy them?

Right, this is a limitation of the current implementation. The files are copied with mcopy. And there is no way to tell mcopy to copy the content of a directory toplevel into the vfat. So we basically copy ${mountpoint}/* and that obviously misses any hidden files. And there is no simple way to change that.

We would probably need to iterate manually and copy the files explicitly.
