Description

windows does not allow symlink unless the shell is run with administrator privileges, which means the fix for CB-8809 will still fail in most cases.

The root of the problem is that we are attempting to copy src->dest when src contains dest, so we CAN proceed as long as we skip the destination folder from source.

repro steps ;
in a plugin repo that has a demo project, you may want to do something like this to allow other developers to run the demo:
cd demo
cordova plugin add ../
