In https://github.com/jaraco/path/issues/186, the Path project discovered a regression with Python 3.8. It seems that if one creates a symlink with an absolute path. I used `shutil.copytree('temp', 'temp2', True)` and it produced this result:
```
~ # dir temp
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is B8F4-40BB
Directory of C:\Users\jaraco\temp
2020-05-16 11:05 PM <DIR> .
2020-05-16 11:05 PM <DIR> ..
2020-05-16 11:05 PM <SYMLINK> bar [c:\Users\jaraco\temp\foo]
2020-05-16 11:04 PM 0 foo
2 File(s) 0 bytes
2 Dir(s) 17,495,805,952 bytes free
~ # dir temp2
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is B8F4-40BB
Directory of C:\Users\jaraco\temp2
2020-05-16 11:05 PM <DIR> .
2020-05-16 11:05 PM <DIR> ..
2020-05-16 11:06 PM <SYMLINK> bar [\\?\c:\Users\jaraco\temp\foo]
2020-05-16 11:04 PM 0 foo
2 File(s) 0 bytes
2 Dir(s) 17,495,846,912 bytes free
```
As you can see, in the copy, bar has an additional `\\?\` prefix on the symlink path. On Python 3.7 and earlier, the copy was made without mutating the metadata. |
