OpenACS

currently, file-storage will copy files by simply copying the revision entry of the new file from the original one. This means that copied files will in fact point to the same filesystem file of the original.

This "works" because the file-storage api will currently never delete a file from the filesystem, so deleting the original file will not affect the copies.

This behavior is probably not ideal, but we won't address it before the release, as to change it will most likely require some careful planning, in particular for existing installations.
