I was expect, actually, that it doesn't. I'm guessing that 'svn switch
-rBASE' will turn BASE into a revision number based on the evaluation of the
revision at which the TARGET sits, and then do a whole-revision update to
that revision (whatever it may be). That's not quite the same operation as
an update-less URL tweak. And maybe the answer to that is, "Just use
--relocate."
