It looks like svnwcsub.py is not always able to update the workspace
if the source URL is updated in the configuration file.

I am seeing an error of the form:

svn: E195012: Path '/www/ace.apache.org' does not share common version
control ancestry with the requested switch location.  Use
--ignore-ancestry to disable this check.
svn: E195012: 'https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/infra/sites/ace'
shares no common ancestry with '/www/ace.apache.org

Is there any reason why the svn switch command does not include the
suggested option?
Seems to me it ought to be possible to replace the checkout with a
different SVN repo without needing to manually remove the existing
checkout.

Sebb.
