Yes, I didn't the know the correct phrase but cheap copies are exactly
what I want. So, as an example, let's say we have two class libraries A
and B, and two web projects, C and D. When compiling, we get an A.dll, a
B.dll, and the web pages compile into a directory structure. We would
like to publish this entire thing in one transaction like this:
tags\1.2.3.4\lib\A.dll
tags\1.2.3.4\lib\B.dll
tags\1.2.3.4\webC\stuff
tags\1.2.3.4\webC\bin\webC.dll
tags\1.2.3.4\webC\bin\A.dll [+]
tags\1.2.3.4\webD\stuff
tags\1.2.3.4\webC\bin\webD.dll
tags\1.2.3.4\webD\bin\A.dll [+]
tags\1.2.3.4\webD\bin\B.dll [+]
Where the marked files shouild be cheap copies from lib. Externals are
no good either because we require that all dll's be in the same
directory. I know there are many places to workaround this issue, but it
would be really easier this way.
So let's forget my previous terminology, my new question is: if I copy a
file not yet committed, is that a cheap copy or not?

The lack of + made me think that these files are not cheap copies, just
regular, space-wasting copies, but clearly I was wrong about the meaning
of it. So is it cheap or not? How do I tell the difference without the +
sign?
