I hadn't considered that.  We do alot of pointer swaps like this up in the
command-line client code itself, but that's a bit different than doing so
down in the libsvn_client library as in this case.  There is one prior
instance of us doing this kind of swap inside the libsvn_client library:  in
libsvn_client/copy.c:repos_to_wc_copy_single().  But I'd prefer mere
precedent not to be our reason for allowing badness to persist in the codebase.

Got suggestions?
