"Switched" is one of the statuses we get back from the SVN API call we
make when getting the statuses. The value of that boolean is what
drives the decorator.
If you switched to an earlier revision, you definitely would NOT see
the icon. The only time you would ever see it is if you switch a
child path to a different URL. Such as swapping your "lib" folder to
a different branch or something. Even then, the internal code that
Subversion uses to determine if something is switched is very crude
and it is somewhat inconsistent about when it reports it as such. It
really depends on the context in which we ask for the information.
The "externals" boolean has similar problems.
