Add support for an expand option?

[micahblu]

It be very nice to maintain the directory structure from src wildcard matches.

For example let's say I have:

replace: {
  html: {
    src: ['src/**/*.html'],
    dest: 'dist/'
    // the rest
  }
}

In this case the dist gets a flattened version of the src files, losing directories and possibly overwriting files, for example a directory with index.html would overwrite the root index.html. It'd be nice to have an expand option that would build the directories as needed.

I agree this would be nice. A work around would be to copy the tree to your new location and then run the replace on the files in place.

I actually have a detached fork where I implemented the feature: https://github.com/micahblu/grunt-replace-text

okay, no pull request?

I did, but he didn't reply in time and I needed an updated git repo for dev deployments at work

I'll do another pull request, I believe he did eventually reply.

That would be appreciated. Thank you!
