bk cp(7.3ce)                BitKeeper User's Manual               bk cp(7.3ce)

NAME
       bk cp - create a copy of a file preserving its revision history

SYNOPSIS
       bk cp <oldfile> <newfile>

DESCRIPTION
       Use  bk  cp  to copy an existing file and its revision history to a new
       file.  The new file will have a changed root identifier so that  it  is
       managed  as  a new object under BitKeeper control.  There is no linkage
       between <oldfile> and <newfile>, i.e., updates to <oldfile> will not be
       applied to <newfile> as well.
