My question was about an add rather than a second copy. Consider

   $ svn cp $url/A wc
   $ svn add wc/A/Y

Suppose $url/A contains $url/A/X. How do I distinguish between a
copied child, like wc/A/X, and an added node like wc/A/Y? Neither has
copyfrom set. How do I know that A/X inherits from it's parent A
while A/Y does not?
