Mike Pilato points out that what's really going on is that a copy
(i.e., tag or branch) is stored in the same way as the object it was
copied from, because they share representation. Once someone commits
on the copy (i.e., it's a branch), then that line starts doing the
usual head-is-fulltext, old-revs-are-delta thing... with the exception
of that initial revision, which continues to share storage with the
copy source.
