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?
