I don't think so. I really think a copy doesn't count, whether it was
made for a branch or for another purpose. (If it was made for a rename,
it does count, but we should really have rename-tracking to fix that
problem; branch-copy-tracking is no substitute.)
I'm not saying it's never useful to know what copies of a node were made
in the past or the future. But the purpose of this function is to aid
commands like "svn cat -r N filename", and that should not traverse
copies going forward.
