No, it is currently not possible to detect and/or
hook a copy. I though there was a bug for this but I couldn't find one.
You may want to log a bug report against Platform Resources for this.

You are right. Chances are that a copy is about to
take place after that method is called but there is no way to hook it.
I think you would need explicit support for this in order for you to do
anything useful.

For CVS what we do is look for additions in the delta
and remove the CVS folders if the added folder is not managed by the parent.
This works in most cases. However, have a copy hook would simplify things.
