'svn export' barks when a directory it doesn't expect to exist exists.
For 'svn export', the first it has to do is create a directory for
destination, and it will fail if the destination directory exists in
the first place. My patch changes the behavior that svn doesn't see
an existing directory as an error if --force is given.
You don't see my patch to overwrites files because svn already does so.
All I need to do is get it past existing directories.

No, I don't say that. I never metion anything about 'svn co'. You
could find my original mails below:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=37578
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=37593
And the example in the second mail is bad. William Uther gave a
better example in
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=37596
as "untarring over an already existing dir."
