Well, there's no such thing as "extra edits" coming from a repository
because there's no such thing as "copies" coming from a repository now
(at least not from the update driver). But, say, when you use
repos_replay to replay the results of svn-cp-then-edit it certainly
will send you add_file(copyfrom=...) and then a txdelta; I was
assuming you'd make the new update driver do the same thing.
(rename-then-edit is certainly a very common thing to do when you're
working with files (say, Java code) whose contents need to match their
filenames.)
