Recovering from svn switch crash

Hi -

I used svn switch to switch a working copy to a branch and the switch
died half way through (not due to svn). I was wondering how to recover
from this without destroying the working copy.

The steps leading up to the switch were:

1. I branched the working copy after commiting everything under version
control (note that there are a lot of dirs in the wc not under source
control)
2. I then used svn switch to switch the wc to the branch - no edits were
made in between the commit/branch in (1) and the switch
3. switch died.

At this point I've got a wc thats half switched and fairly broken. How
should I recover from this without losing the unversioned files? I
noticed theres a bug against svn when using the switch on wc's with
unversioned content but I dont know if this affects me in this case.

Thanks

Marcus
