+% DESCRIPTION: COPY makes a deep copy of the input provenance objects.
+%
+% CALL:        b = copy(a, flag)
+%
+% INPUTS:      a    - input provenance object
+%              flag - 1: make a deep copy, 0: return copies of handles
+%
+% OUTPUTS:     b - copy of inputs
+%
+% This is a transparent function and adds no history.
