Old clients will fail if they are running from subdir of light checkout, not from the root of the
tree, with NotABranch error.

New format is always safe choice according to existing practice in bzr.

Both relative path and absolute path *are* problem when either master branch or checkout
moved/renamed in filesystem. But, relative path is the big win for recent Ian's idea of colocated
