Well, you have an impedance mismatch here. svn_fs_copy is fundamentally
about a "copy with history" operation, which doesn't make sense (in our
model, anyway) unless the copy source is a revision. Ape is clearly
only concerned about the results of its operations, not the process.

We do have a function called svn_fs_revision_link() which is about
copying without preserving history, but it's not intended for this use
(it's more about efficiency than flexibility), and it still demands that
the source is a revision root.
