Copying of unversioned files was never planned that way. The basic idea
is:
- copy using hardlinks by default: "cp -a" style but only applied to
registered files, i.e.
- svn-bp makes a list of contents
- checks for unregistered files
- if there are some, complains and bails-out unless --svn-ignore-new is
specified.
- creates the build dir and the directory hierarchy
- does link() on all files
- if impossible to hardlink (naturally on separated filesystems, or
when forbidden by an option), use File::Copy() or so, following the
same algorithm
- if everything fails, no matter why, try copying with "svn export"
- in merge mode, also copy debian dir with simple "svn export" for the sake
of code simplicity
If something changed in the meantime deviating from this behaviour, then
it should be fixed. If you like different behavior, introduce some
option IMO.
