"If they differ" is unnecessary because all of this is under "If the
new URL does not match the old repository root" (which actually should
have been stated as, "If the repository root of the new URL does not
match the old repository root").

Well, duh. :-)

Close, but not quite. It may be a no-op only if the path-in-repos is
not changing AND the working is not out of date with respect to that
path-in-repos. Yes, part of the grand unification is to make sure
that 'svn switch' always behaves like 'svn switch'.
