(I'm assuming 's/so/should/'.)

Do you mean "no mergeinfo at all besides what the copy source already
has", or do you really mean "no mergeinfo *at all*"?

The former makes sense to me (but, I may be too ignorant to understand
all the implications of what you're asking).

The destination's parents will still have the implicit mergeinfo that
comes from having history (and *their* parents having history, etc,
etc). And that implicit mergeinfo shouldn't apply to the copy... but
then it won't, because copies are treated specially in mergeinfo
inheritance rules anyway, right?
