Yes. In fact, making a clone of a node just creates a new link to it. There
is actually only a single vnode.

There is no notion of "original" node, nor is there a notion of the
original link to the node. There is just a single vnode and multiple parent
links to that node.

We could, if we like, define the following notion. N is a *local clone of B*
if and only if:

- Node N is a clone,
- Node N is a descendant of B,
- N has two or more parents Pi such that each Pi is a descendant of B.
