Comment (by martin.apel@…):

 There are quite a number of bug reports, which all have to do with how
 Boost.Filesystem handles reparse points, e.g. #11873, #11057, #9016,
 #5649.
 I have had similar problems as described here, especially in conjunction
 with feeding the output of canonical into create_directories, which does
 not work, when some sort of reparse point (drive mounted as directory,
 deduplicated files) are involved. I therefore have attempted to fix the
 problem properly and have attached a corresponding patch against 1.65.1.
 Please review and is possible, merge this into Boost mainline.
