Description

BumpRevision takes a name and turns it into a "copy_of_name". It knows how to deal with copies of copies. The routine will truncate the new name to the maximum dos name size (currently 30 characters).

Examples:

OldName NewName
'foo' 'copy_of_foo'
'copy_of_foo' 'copy_2_of_foo'
'copy foo' 'copy_1_of_foo'
'012345678901234567890123456789' 'copy_of_0123456789012345678901'
