Good point. And you don't have to be *so* careful, after all, you can
work on copies of everything and test before making a repository live.

Just dump the original repository, write a script to stick "/trunk" in
front of every path (or perhaps some more complex formula will be
necessary, but you get the idea), and load into a fresh repository.
