svn switch --relocate arguments

[Garrett Rooney <ro...@electricjellyfish.net>]

is there a reason we require two arguments to 'svn switch --relocate'?

it seems like the 'from' url would just be the url entry in the target 
directory if it isn't specified on the command line...

is there something i'm missing here?

Well, the code is permissive enough to allow you to do something
sneaky like

svn switch --relocate http svn

Or, let's say at work you access the repo as "http://svn.my.com/repos/",
but from home as "http://firewall.my.com/repos", you could do:

svn switch --relocate http://svn http://firewall

This may be a bit too permissive, though; perhaps we should solve
issue 960 (separate canonical repository URL from repos path in wc)
first, then supplant the two-argument version of relocate with a
single-argument one.
