Hi,

I think A' might not always be simply (A + SVN info). I think you can
dcommit when you're not up to date.  So A' will have a different
parent than A (will be automatically rebased on top of current branch
tip). Other refs pointing to A might be used as bookmarks, and moving
them from A to A' would be a significant change.
