Whatever works for you.
"Relocate" is probably a bad name for the command since the command doesn't relocate anything. What it does do is point your working copy to a repositories new location. So when the server has relocated you use it. The command should possible be called something like "repository-moved-to" or such.
Another memory aid might be...
Relocate = seRveR <- notice all the R's.
sWitCh = Working Copy <- switches your working copy to another project path.
