Good question. I would argue that 1 copy is the more desireable behavior, but 2 copies will be easier for many servers to implement (for example, that is what "cp -r" does on Unix). So my preferences would be (from high to low): 1- require 1 copy 2- leave it up to the server 3- require 2 copies. Any votes?
