Why on earth are you using the --relocate switch?  The point of that
switch is for rewriting urls when you switch schemas or hostnames.

But in your case, you don't need that at all.  A simple

   svn switch http://svnhost/combust/trunk

would have 'updated' your working copy to the new repository location
with no problems at all.

But.. it seemed to make sense at the time :)

Would you want a patch adding a error message if 
    oldschema == newschema and oldhost == newhost ?

(although that doesn't get the other case of changing from one
repository to another on the same host -- which is non-trivial to
figure out from only parsing the URL)

Doh.

Thanks!
