Subject: COPY semantics
(I've posed this question before, but it didn't get much discussion...)
What does COPY mean for a versioned resource?
Options might be:
(1) create a new versioned resource at the destination whose initial
revision is the same as the revision selected by the source,
(2) copy all the history of the source to a new versioned resource at the
destination,
(3) make a new unversioned resource that has looks like the selected source
(i.e., looses it's versioned status).
Then how does that differ if the selected resource is a working resource?
We disallow a working resource without a corresponding versioned resource
with at least an initial revision.
Option (1) seems the most likely candidate to me.
