There is no clean way to determine this, which should be fixed by making it
explicit (how is still undetermined)
For the time being you can see a difference in the changed_* columns. Local
additions have no (=NULL) values here, while copies have at least a
changed_rev value. (This is how the entries read code currently determines
whether it should set .copied or not)
