How to fix a leaky cold water feed into a water heater?

My Mom rents her home. The cold water feed into the water heater sprung a leak in the copper pipe (the ~2 foot length connected to the unit).

The useless moron of a maintenance guy put a bolt-down clamp with rubber on it, but it didn’t fix it. So now instead of spraying against the wall, it’s running down onto the water heater.

Supposing I wanted to fix this, what’s the best way? New pipe soldered into place? Some sort of patch?
