1.8.x just reported the original/left revision in a lot of cases where it didn't know the revision.

Especially on directories where 1.8.x where the old internal diff callbacks didn't even report any revision... where the diff output just guessed the revision based on the revision of the complete diff (or whatever it expected it to be).

I don't think we ever reported the copy from revision, as the actual left-src revision of the diff...

And I'm not sure if reporting copy from is really valid either, without reporting that it is a copy and probably more importantly where the copy is from.

The copy can be from any repository path at the specified revision...
So now you can no longer trust the revision to just specify that the path existed at the current path in that revision.
