Consider using rsync:

I had originally used rsync, but I looked up the difference and it sounds like rsync is mostly preferred for its ability to efficiently do partial copies (like transferring updates of existing files) to keep directories in sync, making efficient decisions.
The general advice seemed to be that if you are doing entirely copy, not updates of existing files, that is what cp is for. But also I don't have a strong opinion and can change if you prefer - I think either tool accomplishes the preservation of symlinks here

It probably doesn't matter since the script created it in a new tmp directory. cp works.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging. If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix? Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group. |

…ge w/ symlinks (flutter#177638) `cp -r` isn't [well defined](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18712/difference-between-cp-r-and-cp-r-copy-command), but on my mac (and probably on the other android team members macs) it doesn't copy symlinks (instead it follows the symlink and copies the file). `cp -a` is well defined, and copies the symlinks. This will probably fix flutter#177286, the symlinks are there for sure locally so it is just a question of if the upload process tramples them.
