Attaching IO-215-copy-option-v5.patch - simplified patch (test case)


Having done this work, I'm still wondering whether its really required. Did you have an actual need for this - or was it just from looking at the code? If its the latter and no-one else has ever raised this, then its probably overcomplicating the API for something that no-one needs.

> 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?
