libs is not an external; libs contains an external (called "some-
library" in my example above).
$ svn proplist -v libs
Properties on 'libs':
svn:externals : some-library https://www.example.com/svn/tools/
some-library/trunk
libs also contains several other libraries unique to this project
which are not included via externals. So I really do quite simply
want to move libs somewhere else, but encounter the given error.
