I understand how that argument applies to the current world.

I don't understand how that implies to the new world (after your patch)
where "switch" can also do a relocate. In the new world, it would seem
like relocate could definitely be a flag for svn_client_switch. The
flag just disables the update and portion of the switch (and, as a
consequence, means the repository-relative part of the URL must be the
same for the source and destination).

Also, in the new world, I don't see why relocate needs to take different
arguments than switch. In the old world, you had to tell relocate what
the repository part of the current WC URL is, but in the new world you
only need to tell it a destination.
