Are you confusing svn and svnmucc? I have never objected to you
adding a force flag to svn.

You keep saying the same things, so you will get the same answer. I
don't like the idea of adding a force flag to svnmucc, I'd prefer an
overwrite action.

If you want to propose a force flag for svn, rather than svnmucc, then
do the usual things: read the old discussions, start a new discussion,
write a patch, etc. There is at least one proposed patch in the issue
tracker.
