It *could*, and we need it to.

Think about it: if you switch to a *different* repository, then you could
completely hose your WC (w.r.t repository) and commit total crap.

The answer is to add in what we've talked about for a while: a canonical
name for a repository. Since the repository itself passes that out, it will
be the same no matter how you access the repos (via proxies, different
hostnames, etc).

Before a switch is made, we just check the (saved) repository name against
the repos name of the switch target. And we absolutely refuse if the two
differ.
