Can we copy all files as is ?
Copy code should be simple copy without any context.

I added the VCS exclusions (.git, .svn, etc.) to match the original AntBuilder.copy() behavior, which applies Ant's "defaultexcludes" by default. Without these exclusions, we would copy .git/ directories and other VCS artifacts like .gitignore, .gitattributes, which is unnecessary since these files are not needed for Checkstyle analysis. However, if you prefer a simpler copy without context, I can remove these exclusions.

Can you share link to any implementation?

I do not see that need some filtering out, we just copy folders, extra hidden folders to copy should be ok

Official Ant Documentation: https://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html#defaultexcludes
Ant Source Code (DirectoryScanner.java):
https://github.com/apache/ant/blob/f862774a9e2d2afe3d25d7116f0672eeb4f3e9bf/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/DirectoryScanner.java#L170
When Copy.java needs to copy files, it calls FileSet.getDirectoryScanner() to get the list of files. Internally, FileSet creates a DirectoryScanner which automatically calls addDefaultExcludes() to add VCS patterns to its exclude list. The scanner then returns only non-excluded files to Copy, so VCS directories are never copied.

Issue #980:
What is fixed:
targetDir.startsWith(sourceDir)→dir.startsWith(destinationDir)since some of the valid directories were getting skipped which caused ci errors.Why earlier code failed:
Improvements:
.git,.svn,.hg,CVS, etc.).gitignore,.gitattributes, etc.)defaultexcludesbehavior
