Re: [Fab-user] get operation is mangling file names

[Christian Vest Hansen]

This is by design, actually. If you have multiple hosts and the file
you want to get is not exactly the same on very host, then 'get' end
up picking one of them.

If you are using fabric 0.1.1, then 'get' will always do name
mangling, but I think Jeff changed that behavior at some point (for
the 0.9'ish versions) so that name mangling only happens when there is
more than one host.
