Generally the summarize api provides the info but from looking at the
code the copyfrom info is only filled by the editor in the add_directory
function and not in the add_file function. Looks like a missing copy
and paste bug. ;)

Interesting, does that mean that the delete_entry function in the editor
is not called for subitems of a deleted directory?
