I've basically copied the code from the rename detection part and
adapted it to copying. Nevertheless, even if git detects a copy to a
already existing file I think that the integrate command should behave
correctly. I should create a test case for this, though.

I'm not that happy with this... and I'm no expert! I will really need
to test this possibility. Just need to understand how I can make git
detect a copy to an existing file... :)
