Meaning of "exact copy source" (revision graph)

Hi documenters and translators,

as this is the least obvious feature of the revision graph view,
I just want to document here what it actually does.

If you show the log for e.g.

http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/tags/version_1.2.0RC1

you see that it has been created in r3478 as a copy of
/branches/1.2.x_at_3477.
However, the last modification to that branch was in r3466.

With 'exact copy sources' enabled, you will get an extra node
in the graph for r3477. Otherwise, a node for the last modifying
revision node will be shown (may or may not already be there).

It seems that this is mainly an issue with old repositories as
I could not reproduce this with newer versions of SVN.
Once such information is stored in the repository, it will properly
remain there, though.
