We could add a dirs_exist_ok parameter to copy tree. To do this, we would also need to raise on mkdir if dir exists for cloud implementations. For most clients mkdir is a no-op right now, so that logic would need to be added/tested.

It seems like shutil.copytree has a dirs_exist_ok parameter that controls this exist_ok. Do we want to mimic that interface?
