fs.copy() with clobber set to false return EEXIST error

See original GitHub issue

In version 1.0.0, fs.copy() with clobber set to false return an EEXIST error.

I think this is a bug because we explicitly set clobber to false (overwrite existing file), so this should not return an error !

@jprichardson What should be the default behavior here for v2?

It should revert back to the behavior pre-1.0.0. We should then add a flag to error on exist / continue on exist… whatever seems to have the most clarity.

@popod is right on this imho. We set it explicitly to false, so we know that there are files already existing and don’t want them to be overwritten. The copy process should not stop then.
