Why? :-)

I'll tell you why I ask so suddenly. I just started working on issue
#933, and pretty soon found all roads leading to `import' simply being
a `cp' that works on non-versioned items.

Before I go any farther, we need to figure out what we want. I'm
beginning to think what we want is for 'svn cp' to Do The Right Thing
when copying non-versioned data to a URL dest.
