Well, if you come from the mindset that a "file" has an identity (hence
there is a distinction between "This file used to be called A and at one
point was renamed to B which is the name we see today" and "Some time ago
somebody created a file B with the same contents as A and then removed A
at the same time"), "copy" would not make much sense. What identity does
a new file B gets when you create it by copying from A?
What I want is to signify something like: "This code was obtained from
that in file A."
"copy" -- of an individual file -- makes just as much sense as "move"
(rename).
