If this API is a smart API, it will do the wrong thing sometimes. It
will no longer be suitable for making backup copies of branches with,
and it will no longer be suitable for cloning branches remotely.

So I propose making it a dumb API, and doing exactly what's requested.
Higher-level logic can decide how to handle these cases. I don't expect
copy_content_into to be smart.
