Return Value

A copy of the BuildPropertyGroup.
Remarks
A shallow copy of a BuildPropertyGroup references the same property group as the original. Modifications a shallow copy will be reflected in both copies.
A deep copy of a BuildPropertyGroup creates a new XML element to reference so that both copies of the BuildPropertyGroup can be independently modified.
If the BuildPropertyGroup corresponds directly to a PropertyGroup element in the project (rather than corresponding to a collection of virtual properties, such as environment variable and global properties), only deep copies are allowed.
