It's an interesting analogy but misleading. A Leo node is more like a
directory than a file. Subnodes matter in this discussion.


The question is whether pastes should retain *all* gnxs or none of them.


Yes, Leo could copy a tree depending on whether clashes exist. But it's our
intention that matters, not gnx clashes. That was the Aha.


Leo's paste-node and paste-retaining-clones commands support either
intention. That should be enough.


*Summary*


It's easy to reject the proposal. It's unlikely to work as expected. Leo's
existing commands suffice.
