It is a limitation on the Eclipse side. They do not provide hooks for
intercepting a copy, there is an open issue filed for this with Eclipse.

In recent releases we added Copy and Export as options on the Team menu so
that you would have a way to do this correctly. Copy lets you copy within
the same project when you want to preserve history. Export can be used
when you just want to copy but do not care about preserving the
relationship.

If you Copy to a different project we will do an Export.
