+NAME
+----
+cdist-dir - Poor man's directory synchronisation
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+cdist-dir <push|pull> TARGET_HOST SRC_DIR DST_DIR
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+cdist-dir either pushes a local directory to the target host
+or pulls a remote directory from a target host to the local host.
+
+In the push case SRC_DIR is local, in the pull case remote.
+In the push case DST_DIR is remote, in the pull case local.
+
+cdist-dir does not cleanup DST_DIR and thus it may contain old
+stuff if used multiple times.
