The change 74ed9ca has broken recursive folder content copying on windows 8 when using symlinks. Instead of copying the symlink, it creates a junction link which links to the original file as if it was a directory not a file. This causes errors when using the files.
Came across this issue when using cordova CLI to do an Android build. See screenshot below - original folder is on the left, resulting folder on the right. There is some discussion of the issue of junction links here #104
