Those new strings are particles that will be inserted
into the revision graph node tooltips. They try to
describe what the intention of that node / revision was
and will not be used in other contexts.

Pattern: "Revision: 12345 (%s)"

It's the noun, meaning "this node represents a copy made
in the respective revision".

Means that the node does not represent a change to path.
Instead it represents the exact source revision of the
copy / branch / tag operation.

Will be used instead of 'copy', if the copy target is
classified as a branch. For tags, it will show "tagged".

Actually, I tried several variants but those seemed to
create the most natural and least misleading description.
Please feel free to fine-tune them.
