FileUtils copy with preserve and symlink issue

copy_preserve.rb

# copy with preserve updates metadata of file and if file that symlink points to has not been copied yet it fails 

require "fileutils"

`mkdir ./src`
`touch ./src/foo`

# Important that symlink name goes before source name in alphabetical order (bar points to foo)
`ln -s ./src/foo bar`

# Copy fails - No such file or directory - ./dest/bar
FileUtils.cp_r("./src", "./dest", :preserve => true)
