Description

A simple

FileUtils.copyDirectory(source, dest, glob) 

works fine when using Commons-IO 2.7, but fails with

Caught: java.io.IOException: Failed setLastModified on /path/to/source
java.io.IOException: Failed setLastModified on /path/to/source
        at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.setLastModified(FileUtils.java:2561)
        at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.doCopyDirectory(FileUtils.java:1361)
        at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyDirectory(FileUtils.java:733)
        at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyDirectory(FileUtils.java:659)
        at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyDirectory(FileUtils.java:606)

after update to 2.8.0. From reading the documentation, it's also my understanding that "setLastModified()" should be executed on "dest" to set the same modification time as "source", but not on "source".
