The directory is not copied.  It is the same directory, but with a
different name in the build container's namespace.  You can see this by
examining the contents of the directory while the build is in progress.

I agree that it would be good to eliminate this potential source of
confusion, but it's not yet clear to me how to do it.

Any other ideas?

     Regards,
       Mark
