 Description   

When trying to copy files to the parent of the directory which gradle is running in, there is an UncheckedIOException. This only happens when the task is of type Copy, if project.copy is used instead the error does not happen. Attached is a test case of the issue, with patchLibraries showing the issue, and patchLibrariesWorking showing the current workaround.

We are testing this functionality to patch updates to an application.

Forgot to mention, this issue only occurs on windows. On Linux it works fine, have not tested this issue on a Mac.
