jaikiran pai resolved IVY-1594.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: master
[~Simon Wade], I had a look at this issue and it turns out that this isn't
Windows OS specific and I could reproduce this even on my *nix setup. I have
now pushed a fix along with a test case which reproduces the issues and
verifies this fix to upstream repo.
You should be able to test this fix in our regular nightly builds[1].
Thank you reporting this issue as well as providing the reproducer - that
helped in quickly providing this fix.

> Creating symlinks to directories, during a retrieve, seems to _always_ fail
> on Windows 7, even when running with the required (elevated) privileges.
> Instead, the fallback copy method is always used.
> Running with verbose logging reveals the fallback is used due to a
> java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException.
