Copy Folder to another Repository

This GitHub Action copies a large folder from the current repository to a location in another repository. The action takes care to create the directory, if not yet present. This is identical to the parent repository, but with an increased buffer size to allow large files to be pushed. See original repo: https://github.com/datalbry/copy_folder_to_another_repo_action
