I understood that this use case should not cause such nasty clutter. I  
thought the garbage files were only created when the volume is browsed  
in Finder.

Of course, one might type `cp -R ` in Terminal and then open the  
memory stick in Finder, select a folder and drag it to the Terminal.  
But that's not actually the "cp(1), mv(1), etc." causing that. ;)

Myself, I would tend to type `cp -R /Vol`-TAB`No`-TAB`pa`-TAB`to\fi`- 
TAB in order to get "/Volumes/No Name/path/to/files"
Perhaps I have unconsciously learned this behaviour in order to reduce  
the housekeeping needed to keep my portable drives clean. ;)
