I think that a better way to deal with this might be to use the 'copied'
flag in svn_wc_status_t, which seems to specifically cover this situation,
and must be available 'for free'.

Unfortunately, GetAllStatus doesn't keep/return this info at the moment,
and although lots of ugly hacks can be thought of to get around this, I
don't have anything very elegant to mind at the moment.

Well, we could deal with that in the code which starts the external diff
viewer, and not launch for non-existant files, or something like that.

But it would be better to deal with it in the shell-extension, really.

I suppose a simple hack which wouldn't be *too* awful would be to have a
flag in SVNStatus called something like m_bLastStatusQueryFoundCopiedFiles,
and set this in the getallstatus callback if the copied flag is seen. Then
the shell-extension can apply this appropriately. It would be meaningless
when there are multiple files processed by GetAllStatus, but the shell
extension is already specifically excluding that in this particular situation.
