+/**
+ * copy-tree: portable replacement for the `rsync -a` copies on the pack
+ * install path.
+ *
+ * Pack installs used to shell out to `rsync`, which Windows does not ship, so
+ * every git-subpath or local-directory install failed there with
+ * `spawnSync rsync ENOENT`. This module does the same copy in Node on every
+ * platform:
+ *
+ *   - `copyTree(src, dest)` copies the CONTENTS of `src` into `dest` (the
+ *     `rsync -a src/ dest/` trailing-slash form). Directories recurse, regular
+ *     files keep their permission bits and mtimes, and symlinks are recreated
+ *     as symlinks with the identical target string. Links are never followed.
+ *     Optional `exclude` names match an entry's basename at any depth, like
+ *     `rsync --exclude=<name>`. Sockets, FIFOs and devices are skipped with a
+ *     warning, as a non-root `rsync -a` does.
+ *   - `removeTreeNoFollow(target)` deletes a tree without ever following a
+ *     symlink or junction inside it: each entry is lstat'd, links are removed
+ *     as links (unlink, or a non-recursive rmdir for a Windows junction), and
+ *     directories are emptied then removed with a non-recursive rmdir. A
+ *     Windows directory that is a reparse point but not a link (a volume mount
+ *     point, a cloud-synced placeholder folder) stops the removal with
+ *     `ReparsePointError`; its contents are never deleted.
+ *
+ * On Windows, creating a symlink needs Developer Mode or an elevated shell.
+ * When that fails with EPERM/EACCES and the link points at a directory inside
+ * the tree being copied, the copy falls back to a junction (no privilege
+ * needed). A junction needs an absolute target, so it points at the matching
+ * entry under `finalRoot`: the path the copy will live at once the caller has
+ * renamed it into place. Any other link target throws `CopyTreeLinkError` with
+ * a Developer Mode hint instead of silently dropping the link.
+ *
+ * TODO(windows-links): src/utils/safe-link.ts (PR 1967, branch
+ * fix/windows-install-path-daemon) adds its own junction fallback and
+ * link-only removal. Whichever of the two PRs merges second should reconcile
+ * these helpers into one module.
