typo in R-exts
The actual behavior, as far as I can make out, is that all the files in the 'tests' directory are copied, but not any subdirectories (which I personally would have found useful). So, saying the "whole directory" is probably not accurate. -- Tony Plate

I'm not sure what was intended here, so I can't suggest a fix.
'svn blame' tells me that this was Brian's addition in rev.35362. There is no previous version to help with guessing the intention. One possibility is that "The whose" should be "The directory", or maybe "The whole directory".
