Description

The descriptions of copyFromLocal and copyToLocal are wrong.

For copyFromLocal, the documentation says "Similar to put command, except that the source is restricted to a local file reference." But from the source code of FsShell.java, I can see that copyFromLocal is the sames as put.

For copyToLocal, the documentation says "Similar to get command, except that the destination is restricted to a local file reference.". But from the source code of FsShell.java, I can see that copyToLocal is the same as get.

And this problem exist for both English and Chinese documentation.
