That's half of it. Creating something oftenly goes along with copying parts of other things. Without the idea of version control (which you for sure didn't invent) BK wouldn't be there. Distributed repositories aren't that new, too. For example, I'm using rsync'ed CVS repositories since quite some time...
So creating and copying are quite connected to each other...
