Overlapping files error message is terse and not instructive

[Evan]

'/cwd/parts/rocketchat-server/install/bin/npm' and '/cwd/stage/bin/npm' are the same file

Pretend I don't know anything. Tell me why this happened and what I might do to resolve it. For example:

> Tried to copy install/bin/npm into stage/bin, but a file with this name > already exists there.
