Why did the switch stop? Do you have an unversioned file or folder with the
same name as a versioned file or folder in the new revision? That's the primary
reason why a switch will normally fail. In that case, you just need to rename
that file or folder out of the way for the moment.

However, in general, you can continue running the same switch command multiple
times, fixing any problems you find along the way (like conflicting
non-versioned files and folders). The reason for this is that each directory is
completely independent of the others, so once you are successful at switching
one folder, it will be unchanged by running the command again.
