Currently it is decided if to use the srcentry in the copy_function by checking if the copy_function is copy() or copy2(). This will fail if the copy_function is a modified copy() or copy2() function. To control if the copy_function gets a srcentry or srcname parameter, added the use_srcentry parameter.
