Copying into a Bucket now works from the same Bucket, from another Bucket, or from a model, dataset or Space repo. Files stored with Xet are copied on the Hub by hash, so nothing is downloaded. Other repo files are downloaded and then uploaded to the Bucket. fsspec moves a file by copying it and deleting the source, so mv and rename now work inside a Bucket too.
