[osg-users] Deep cloning an active root scene node

[Robert Lockyer]

Thanks Robert, that's good advise for a more efficient approach in the long
term. I just figure it might be a simple proof of concept to just blindly
clone the whole graph. Sounds like there's no fundamental reason I can't do
that, so probably just some silly thing I'm getting wrong.
