the state should be 'repocopy'

The repocopy is the copy action. Once it is done there will be
identical copies of files in the tree.
Only one port will be connected to the build - the one which was
originally connected.

At this point you can do what you want with the files. You can delete
the old copy, change the new copy and connect it, add a MOVED entry,
or anything else that you would normally do.

MFC only applies to src because of the branching model.
