When I read that 'svn cleanup' would be how to upgrade a WC, my reaction
was that it was confusing and not a good idea. svn cleanup --upgrade is
not confusing, but does seem a bit odd - 'svn upgrade' seems natural.
I see a difference between the equivalent of running fsck on a working
copy and converting it to a new format, which makes me want a separate
subcommand.
I think it's an important feature that your wc doesn't get upgraded
unless you ask for it. (Speaking as the CM weenie in a large group
hoping to avoid confusion on the part of my people who do not - and
should not have to - pay deep attention to these details.)
