Comment (by knarf):

 Yes, for svn you can either lookup the UUID yourself, or you can try to
 avoid the internals and try a 'svn switch --relocate' and test for the
 exit value. This effectively also compared the UUIDs, but it does it for
 you and you are separated from any possible future change in the
 internals. Practically both give you pretty much the same, except maybe
 that even if you compare the UUIDs you would still need to do the
 relocation and check for its exit value to actually do the switch.
