+1 on the option. Not so sure about using "--force" to do it, especially
since we might want --force for something else, later.

What about "--relocate"?

One use case that I've already run into for this is that one
of the places I work has a broken proxy, so I use

http://svn.collab.net:81/repos/svn/trunk

But another place I work has a working proxy, but doesn't allow
outbound traffic on port 81, so I need to use

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
