CopyFiles doesn't respect source directory structure

What You Are Seeing?

If I have a directory structure like this:

root
-- subdir1
---- bar.dll
-- subdir2
---- baz.dll
-- foo.exe

When I execute this:

CopyFiles("root/**/*", outputDir);

The files are copied to a flat directory structure, instead of preserving the original structure:

outputDir
-- foo.exe
-- bar.dll
-- baz.dll

What is Expected?

The same structure as in the source folder

outputDir
-- subdir1
---- bar.dll
-- subdir2
---- baz.dll
-- foo.exe

Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?

Not at this point, just testing locally (but eventually it will run on Jenkins)

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

As described above

I realize this may be the intended behavior, but I don’t think it makes much sense… especially since there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to manually list and copy the files.

Actually… maybe not. I use globbing to specify which files to copy, and CopyDirectory just copies all files.

I could totally be missing something here, but is what you want actually CopyDirectory instead of Copy files? I ran into a similar thing where I tried to use CopyFiles to copy a directory and ended up using CopyDirectory, which worked for me.
