You are right about the intention, but it was my understanding that switch
should be able to switch any two directories on the server. Of course I've
never really used switch, but I remember discussions about this. Switch
isn't restricted to switch directories that are copies of each other.

In fact, if that were the case, then you'd be able to switch to a branch but
wouldn't be able to switch back, because while the branch is a copy of the
trunk, the trunk is not a copy of the branch.
