Sebb commented on IO-215:
-------------------------
The user is able to specify whether or not to preserve file dates, and I think
that failure to do so breaks the API contract - therefore an Exception should
be thrown.
There are some public methods which don't offer the option, but set it true
internally.
These should probably retain the current behaviour.

> FileUtils.doCopyDirectory(..) and .FileUtils.doCopyFile(..) both call the
> setLastModified() method, but fail to check if it succeeded or not.
> Surely if the caller has asked for the date to be preserved, failure to do so
> should be reported somehow?
