This article is spot-on for its audience. Practitioners honestly struggle with this in the eDiscovery industry. It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. In a day, a good programmer could write a tool to copy files around correctly and deal with long paths and timestamps, and then live off shareware sales for a year.
