Description

This patch adds support for the '--replace' switch for 'svn copy'.  This switch
would allow users to perform a delete and copy on the same destination with one
command.  See the link below for more usecase information.

Justin Patrin <papercrane_at_gmail.com> submitted this patch to the dev list. 
Discussion petered out after a few comments, but the idea is an interesting one.
 I'm filing it here so it doesn't get lost.  The original patch can be found here:
