Steps to Reproduce

  4. Upload one blob to the sub-folder.
  5. Copy the sub-folder and paste it to the root.
  6. Check whether we can get a clear error info from the activity log or AzCopy log.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the ADLS Gen2 folder-paste conflict described in the steps, then inspect the resulting activity log and AzCopy log. Done means both logs provide clear error information when a non-empty folder contains a blob name that conflicts at the destination.
