How to duplicate a file and preserve history?

Asked by Brian Lacy

How can I duplicate an existing source file and preserve the log history on both files?

In subversion there is an "svn copy" command that does this, but I noticed there's no "bzr copy", is there a similar or equivalent operation? How can I accomplish this?

There is not a similar operation to 'svn copy'. The history of each
file cannot be shared between multiple files.
