 Situation is this in wp_insert_post:
 {{{
         if ( $update ) {
                 do_action('edit_post', $post_ID, $post);
                 $post_after = get_post($post_ID);
                 do_action( 'post_updated', $post_ID, $post_after,
 $post_before);
         }

         do_action('save_post', $post_ID, $post);
         do_action('wp_insert_post', $post_ID, $post);
 }}}

 As you can see we have hooks that:
 1. Get executed when post is '''updated'''
 2. Get executed when post is '''updated or created'''

 There is no hook that would be exectued only when post is '''created'''.
 ''wp_insert_post'' was most logical candidate for the task, however i
 suspect changing it might break some plugins relying on it therefore i
 propose new action '''wp_insert_new_post''' which should be executed
 '''only when new post is created''', but '''never when post is updated'''.

 Like so:
 {{{
         if ( $update ) {
                 do_action('edit_post', $post_ID, $post);
                 $post_after = get_post($post_ID);
                 do_action( 'post_updated', $post_ID, $post_after,
 $post_before);
         }
 +       else
 +               do_action('wp_insert_new_post', $post_ID, $post);

         do_action('save_post', $post_ID, $post);
         do_action('wp_insert_post', $post_ID, $post);
 }}}

 P.S. I marked ticket as having patch even tho there is just updated code
 snippet above. Please excuse me :)
