hmm.. i'm not so sure. 1003, fixes a semantic issue with shallow copies and
getting change revisions on the copied node. it also seems to fix some
bookeeping for copies of the node, which will definitely help. but i call
revision_changed explictly with cross_copy_history=1, because i want all the
changed revs for a node to get a handle on each rev's contents to annotate.

out of curosity, how does one go about producing that chart of copy ids that
philip attached to that issue.
