Lots!  The sandbox's state information doesn't correspond with
the restored repo.  I don't know what the results will be, but it
could get ugly.

Look in the archives of this list for my message of July 4, 2002,

slightly different situation, but you should be able to adapt it
to your needs.  If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
