graftcopies: document why the function is useful at all
Despite having spent a significant amount on time on the copy-tracing
code, I thought `graftcopies()` (formerly known as
`duplicatecopies()`) was needed to duplicate copies after calling
`merge.update()` to do a merge (as `merge.graft()` does), but it's
actually usually not needed; `merge.update()` takes care of most
copies. This patch documents what the function is for.
