Except that you've written before that using --relocate to "switch"
when it wasn't just the protocol or path to the repository that
changed is BAD. If the path within the repository changes we have
been told to NOT use --relocate because it will hose stuff.

Wouldn't what I mentioned about not finding the BASE revision at the
new path cause a problem if I had only used --relocate?
