Actually, I spoke sloppily.

ra_local has always checked to make sure that the two URLs are in the
same repository. It errors out if they're not. (see
libsvn_ra_local/ra_plugin.c:386.)

mod_dav_svn, upon receiving a 2nd "dst-url" in a REPORT request,
apparently isn't doing this check. It would need to be inserted
somewhere into mod_dav_svn/update.c:dav_svn__update_report(). Any
takers? :-)

[What I originally meant to say was: 'svn switch' needs to contact and
examine both URLs, because that's the only way of knowing whether or
not patches need to be applied to your working copy.]
