I figured out that if you run svn-load-dirs with arguments that
reflect true relative paths that exist from your current directory,
you get this error.

simply changing directories, and provide the arguments (that are not
also relative paths ie - tab completion) will fix the error.

Here's an example:

If you're in ./foo and ./foo/current exists, and you run "$
svn-load-dirs file:///x/svn/foo ./current /tmp/version_1.2" from the
"./foo" directory, it will toss this error because the argument
'./current' is a path from your current directory "./foo"

ie: "./foo/current" exists and therefore safely exits because it may
be an unintended path target since it already exists.

Moving up or down a directory and still running svn-load-dirs with the
same arguments removes the warning.
