It could silently break round-tripping when working on a branch produced
by bzr-0.7.

For example: Arthur uses bzr-0.7 and publishes frobo.dev on his website.
Bruce uses bzr.dev and has one big repository with everything, he
branches frobo.dev as frobo.br, hack a bit on it, and ask Arthur to
merge. Arthur cannot read frobo.br.

I am not personally convinced that this problem is worth confusing
people the other way around, but that's the rationale for this
behaviour.

It should arguably be easier to import a bunch of branches into a
repository using the repository storage.
