Because --relocate is just running a mindless textual substitution,
something like s/X/Y/ on each URL. You need to specify X and Y.

X might be "http://" and Y might be "svn://". Or X might be
"http://oldhostname" and Y might be "http://newhostname". Or X might be
"http://host/oldreposlocation" and Y might be
"http://host/newreposlocation".
