Well, in 1.9 the feature to set the externals to explicit revisions is
done at the same time as the copy/commit/...
So at least for that you won't get that problem anymore.
As for the switch after the copy, I'll have to find a way that won't
slow down the operation for all those who don't use write-through proxying.
