If you touch builtin-mv.c already, why not just move cmd_cp() in there?  
It's not like it would be the first cmd_*() function living in the same 
file as other cmd_*() functions.

Why do we even want "git-cp", especially when git-mv and git-rm
are already pretty much redundant commands?

Especially, why do we even encourage copy-and-paste?

We do not. I've seen too much damage being done through copy/paste. A
much better (safer) way to copy code is to re-type it. I've asked more
than once, when asked to help debug a piece of code: "Did you copy this 
code?".

For this reason I have a vision of a "plugin" for Eclipse that disables paste
if the clipboard contains copied code. Cut and paste would be ok.
