Copying folder content into one of its sub-folders

[mhsallam]

In the Files Tree View, when coping folder "A" into one of its sub-folders "A/B"; Atom gets into an infinity loop in which the same content of the main folder "A" will be duplicated in the target sub-folder "A/B/A" (the first time is as desired) then again copies itself into the newly created sub-sub-folder (A/B/A/"B").. and goes on and on...

E.g: Coping folder FONTS/ into FONTS/FA will produce: "FONTS/FA/FONTS/FA/FONTS/FA/FONTS/FA/FONTS/FA/..." and will not stop until you close Atom.

I can still repro this.

Repro steps for mac:

1. Open terminal and run mkdir a && cd a && mkdir b && atom .
2. In the tree-view, copy folder a into sub directory b

Expected. Copy content of a into
Actual: Probably do what the system does and display an error.

Mac error:

atom --version
Atom    : 1.15.0-dev-81e8ccc
Electron: 1.3.13
Chrome  : 52.0.2743.82
Node    : 6.5.0

I get a warning:

I get something similar with Symlinks, might be a different bug though

Given

$ ls -laht
this-dir -> ../

Trying duplicate that will crash Atom... when what I really want is just a copy of the folder with the symlink... I don't want to deep copy the resolved symlink which may take a while, crash and error out
