I've just been debugging a problem in my new format, and it turns out
this was wrong...

Specifically:
 plain(xml5) supports unique fileids at / - so / has no last-modified
revision and may have any file id.

Another note for implementors of serialisers, the in memory inventory
always has a .revision for the root at commit time. So you need to just
ignore the revision when serialising in a non-rich-root format.
