I understand that clone() creates a corresponding node. Does copy()?
did you already look at the API and the specification?
Yes. And the specification seems confusing, so I asked on this list.
In particular, the specification specifically references corresponding
nodes, but in an unclear way, while discussing copy.
"10.7 Copying Nodes
Nodes can be copied from one path location to another within a workspace and,
in repositories with more than one workspace, across workspaces (see §3.10
Multiple Workspaces and Corresponding Nodes). A copy operation on a node
copies the node and its subgraph. Properties cannot be copied individually.
"
I couldn't understand why the copy would reference corresponding nodes
if it doesn't create corresponding nodes. What is the purpose of this
reference?
i'd say the reference is about "multiple workspaces" and not about
the corresponding nodes... in my version of the specification the
title of section 3.10 is now: Corresponding Nodes. while the
section you quote says: "see §3.10 Multiple Workspaces and
Corresponding Nodes"
so it's likely that the references is outdated.
honestly i don't see your problem.
