#11057: fs::copy fails with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT attribute

     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.57.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  copy              |
------------------------------+------------------------
 Platform : Windows 7 64bits

 When using fs::copy on a regular file with Windows APL attributes
 (Archive, sparse file, reparse point), fs::copy returns error code
 BOOST_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

 When passing though the fs::copy, the "from" file is not detected as a
 regular file walking to the "else" case.

 With a little investigation, file status reports our file as a reparse
 file because of the REPARSE_POINT attribute.

 Is this behaviour the expected one ? knowing that a direct call to
 fs::copy_file works.
