--relocate is used *only* if the URL of the repository changes but the 
content stays the same. E.g. FreeBSD gets renamed to UnfreeBSD and so 
the URL of the repository changes to http://svn.unfreebsd.org/base/, 
then you use --relocate. svn switch --relocate does something completely 
different than svn switch. The latter is used to switch between branches.
