DISCUSSION

You should call this method after the end of a cloning transaction and before using an ID returned by the Clone or WeakClone method during that transaction.

The id parameter is an ID returned by the Clone or WeakClone method during the recent cloning transaction. If the corresponding object was not strongly cloned during the transaction, the ID is now invalid and should not be used.
