[issue2047] shutil.destinsrc returns wrong result when source path matches beginning of destination path

[James Cooper]

James Cooper <james.cooper at solidodesign.com> added the comment:

Our company recently rediscovered this bug in 2.5.2.  After a couple
hours of debugging, we realized the error message was incorrect and
found the bug in the destinsrc function.

This may not be a show-stopping bug, but it's non-obvious, annoying,
unnecessary, and very easy to fix.  Any chance of getting this into a
release?
