New Revision: 51127
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/51127

Log:
  The documentation incorrectly states that
  
  % svn copy foo.c bar.c
  
  and
  
  % cp foo.c bar.c
  % svn add bar.c
  
  are equivalent. However, the first one keeps foo.c history and the second gets
  rid of it.
  
  Fix this and explain the difference.
