We're not sure about this. That means we should not tell the user what
might not be true but instead ask.

"It seems you are trying to relocate your working copy inside the same
repository"

would be better I think.

"If that's true, then you must use the switch operation"

Or if the location of the repository changed (e.g. the repository got
renamed from "notapprovedprojectyet" to "finallywegotanamefortheproject").

Could be done, but it's not that easy.

Yes. But again, it requires some more code than the usual "Help" button
used in the normal dialogs.
