Aaron, I've faced with the non-relative branch references in my scmproj 
plugin. I'm also used at the beginning similar scheme to your layout, 
where actual nested components were lightweight checkouts of subbranches.

Once you will move entire nested construct in the filesystem all 
lightweight checkouts will start to point to wrong location, because 
lightweight checkouts are using absolute paths to their branches.

There is possible to "shit happens": user has moved old nested construct 
to the other location and recreate fresh nested construct in the old 
location. And then lightweight checkouts in the moved locations suddenly 
will start point to the new nested construct.

Do you think this is the right behavior?
