Will it be posible to circumvent that check (using --force) ?
A scenario I had was that I had to move the location of some home
directories in the repos.
I thought if I "svn mv" them and do an "avn up $HOME" I get a huge mess,
things get removed, some directories stay there with unversioned content,
...
So i chose to do some repos surgery: dump the repos, move the home dirs by
processing the dump (using the merge command of my svndumptool.py) and
load that dump. After that relocate did the right thing. That wouldn't be
possible if I can't circumvent that check.
Thanks
Martin
