SVN 'switch' operation to change a working copy association.

SVN switch operation allows to make a working copy track a different URL in the same repository. Is mostly used to select a different branch to follow.

Not to be confused with relocate which changes to point to a whole different repository.

It can also be applied to just a directory in a working copy (but this is not recommended).

Does 'svn switch' ever delete locally-added files?

I need some clarification about the behaviour of "svn switch". I'm using SVN version 1.6.5. From reading the manual, my understanding of the behaviour is that local changes will be preserved. So I would expect a locally-added file to still exist in…
