Description

Installing a plugin with a parent path will cause a path-overflow after recursively copying a folder repeatedly.

Assuming a plugin repo contains a demo app, you might want to install the parent plugin, something like :

cordova plugin add ../

This will fail, while using --link is successful.

It would be good to detect this situation and force the use of --link
