I think "checkout --force" is acceptable but I think the behaviour
should be extended to "update --force" as well, after all, checkout
and update share a lot of code.

We already use 'T' for a "sTolen" lock during update. If update can
also takeover then we really need to use some other letter, how about
'V' for "takenoVer"? Even if we don't change update I think it would
be a good idea to avoid reusing 'T'.

It solves the basic "takeover an unversioned tree" problem so it's a
good starting point.

I think that could get very complicated, I'd be tempted to leave it as
an obstruction error.

Perhaps a bit late for 1.4? Drop the _co if supporting update,
perhaps drop it even if not supporting update?

'force' rather than 'forced_checkout' would be consistent with the
other APIs, and is obviously better if it applies to updates as well.

[I now think reusing "--force" was a mistake in the client, we should
have used "--force xxx" or "--force-xxx" from the beginning.]

Looks a bit hard to read, how about

                                 (fb->taken_over
                                  ? svn_wc_notify_co_takeover
                                  : (fb->added

That's ugly: it involves an extra wc pass, extra disk IO, sleeping
twice, etc. Far better to get checkout to do the right thing, which
also means that other clients don't have to implement the same trick.
