As far as I can tell, what's wrong is the basic premise of this whole
optimization. A chain of deltas with no "copy from target" operations
does not necessarily avoid copy_source_ops().

(This is from loading your sample repository and poking around in gdb
with a checkout of the head of ChangeLog. I see copy_source_ops()
activity from the very first window composition. window_B of this
composition comes from rev 4550 and has only four instructions, none of
which are "copy from target" instructions.)
