I suppose it depends on what kind of change you are tracking. I was
thinking of a whole new file for feature X, and that if I copy it then
it's likely that the copy is part of my feature X too. But if I'd just
made a small text change in X and then copied it, I'm probably wanting
the copy for some completely different purpose.
Actually, I also said what I said because I was thinking around the idea
that object identity should kind of follow the content, so both the
original and the copy have equal successorship status ... but that's in
the realm of thought experiments and not Subversion.
