The following monkey patch fixes this behaviour. However the monkey patch relies on the contents of the source directory not changing during the copy operation. (({require 'fileutils' def copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).traverse do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) File.unlink destent.path if remove_destination && File.file?(destent.path) ent.copy destent.path end Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).postorder_traverse do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) ent.copy_metadata destent.path if preserve end end module_function :copy_entry end})) -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
