[passes]

Glad to here it passes for you, now.
FYI, I have spent pretty much time on cp over the last
couple days, factoring out the hole-inducing code and
making extent_copy use it.  Part of the motivation was
to fix cp --sparse=always, which was broken on the branch.
It would not induce holes when going through extent_copy.
I've added a couple more tests and will post the series as
soon I've cleaned things up a little more.
