Just an opinion, I think what people are looking for is reproducing this behavior:

In this kind of API:

Or something similar...

Hello, I'm interested in solving this issue for you, however I would like to inquire about some details to clear a few things up for me.
What would this recursive option do differently than the parent: true option? Omit the leading segments in the destination path? (Is that what #40 is about?)
As far as I can tell doing cpy("b", "a", { parents: true }) on b/c/d.js will result in a/b/c/d.js, since globby does a recursive listing already.
What is a clear example where cpy currently doesn't behave as expected and what would the expected outcome be?
Thank you for your time.

The reason there's a fairly large bounty on this issue is that I don't have all the answers. It's up to the submitter to come up with a good solution. Many of the deficiencies of the current behavior is documented in the linked issues.
