Yes, we'll need to make checkout work automatically in that case.

For example, inside the client library(!) the checkout code path could ask
if the target dir is already a working copy root (svn_wc__is_wcroot())
and if so get its url (svn_wc__node_get_repos_info()) and then compare
that url to the (canonicalized version of) the URL which was passed on
the command line. If those match, proceed without require the force flag.

That's the idea -- I don't know if this would be straightforward to
implement right now, or if something would get in the way of this.
