If a copy of a file in subversion is equivalent to a hard link in unix,
then ultimately the only thing being added to the repository is the text
representing the new URL. In my mind that is equivalent to a tag in
CVS, just some extra text attached to a file. Albeit, much longer text,
but that is why I store my URLs in short environment variables, such as
${M}
