Upgrade 2.0.0. to 2.0.1 deletes files in pub/media/import

[robfico]

Installed tar.gz for 2.0.0 with sample data with web root of /pub. I put images in pub/media/import.

Ran following commands to upgrade to 2.0.1:

vi composer.json (change 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 for "magento/product-community-edition")

touch vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/js/JsTestDriver/.gitignore
touch vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/api-functional/.gitignore
touch vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/unit/.gitignore
touch vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/static/.gitignore
touch vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/integration/.gitignore
touch vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/functional/.gitignore

composer update

After upgrade, all image files in pub/media/import were gone. Not sure if this should happen or not, but I would assume it should not.

On upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 via "composer update" the upgrade process does delete the pub/media/import folder and then re-create it empty. Whatever is in pub/media/import does get deleted.

I cloned the repo to install 2.0.0 , and after a 'composer update' all pub/media deleted.

Had the same problem today. Doing composer update removed the pub/media/import folder.
