Cool!

I noticed you used my second patch version as basis for the inclusion; do
you mind to explain why not version 3 ? -- the obligatory opendir at
the beginning of an upload shouldn't be too costly, should it?
Since everything else is nearly the same in both versions, I don't
miss something, I'm just curious (I suspect you had the API-depended
stuff already incorporated and saw no point in repeating that step
for almost no change :-) - altough I also cleaned up variable
naming/declaration and error-reporting a bit.

I suggest something in the line of:

*** curl-7.16.3-20070601/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_setopt.3 2007-05-31
04:00:01.000000000 +0200
--- curl-7.16.3-20070601.new/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_setopt.3 2007-06-13
16:00:32.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 890,895 ****
--- 890,900 ----
  Pass a long. If the value is non-zero, curl will attempt to create any
remote
  directory that it fails to CWD into. CWD is the command that changes working
  directory. (Added in 7.10.7)
+
+ This setting also applies to SFTP-connections. curl will attempt to create
+ the remote directory if it can't obtain a handle to the target-location. The
+ creation will fail if a file of the same name as the directory to create
+ already exists or lack of permissions prevents creation. (Added in 7.16.3)
  .IP CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
  Pass a long. Causes curl to set a timeout period (in seconds) on the amount
  of time that the server is allowed to take in order to generate a response

As always, my english is not the best, but the paragraph contains the
information I would like find.

kind regards,
Tom
