switch --relocate with different repos ids

Hi,

is it possible to force a 'switch --relocate' even if the repositories 
have different ids?

I have imported an old repository in a subfolder of another repository. 
I want to switch versions checked out from the old repos to urls in the 
new repos. This should work fine, because the structure in the subfolder 
is the same. But svn fails due to the different repository ids.

regards,
Achim

Yes. I have no example at hand to post the original error message. But 
the message told me absolute clearly that svn switch will not work due 
to different repository ids.

Are you sure it's the fact that they have different repository ids? I  
had a similar problem, but I thought it was because the revision  
numbers were different.

If the two repositories have different UUIDs you absolutely cannot use
switch --relocate to migrate working copies from one to the other. 
You must check out new working copies and manually apply any
outstanding changes to them.
