Hi,

It's not trivial to store a relative path only if the user gave one,
because by the time it is stored we're often passing an object rather
than just a string. However
<https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mbp/bzr/135234-checkout-relpath/+merge/21343>
makes it store a relative path always, which I think is reasonable.
