Your first syntax instructs Subversion to:
- find the 'line of history' that intersects the path
"https:\\...\branch10" in revision 11893 (the @ rev)
- walk that line of history until you get to revision 11893
(the -r rev)
- checkout that object (regardless of its path in the -r
revision)
As you can tell, the second step of that set of instructions seems
redundant, right? And in fact, it *is* redundant. Your command-line could
have just been:
svn co https:\\...\branch10@11893 # without the -r
The second command syntax instructs Subversion to:
- find the 'line of history' that intersects the path
"https:\\...\branch10" in HEAD (the implied @ rev)
- walk that line of history until you get to revision 11893
(the -r rev)
- checkout that object (regardless of its path in the -r
revision)

If I understand you correctly, back in r11893 there was a "branch10".
Later, that "branch10" was moved elsewhere and a new "branch10" came into
being. That's fine.
The question is: what is the very first revision for the directory which is
called "branch10" in HEAD? You should be able to get the answer using this
command:
svn log -q -r1:HEAD --limit 1 https:\\...\branch10
If the answer is a revision that's younger than r11893, then that explains
why Subversion has complained.
