New submission from Zoltan Vajda <[email protected]>:
shutil.copytree incorrectly does not copy symlink contents if called
with symlink=False and ignore_dangling_symlinks=True.
The wrong behaviour can be reproduced like this:
$ tree
.
└── a
├── a.txt
└── b
└── a.txt -> ../a.txt
$ python3 -c "import shutil;shutil.copytree('a/b', 'c', symlinks=False,
ignore_dangling_symlinks=True)"
As a result directoy c will be created but it will remain empty.
Expected result is a file c/a.txt with the contents of a/b/a.txt.
