I think it surprised me at one time, too. Besides, I don't believe this
behaviour is what the commit was supposed to fix.
IIRC, we wanted to disallow the relocate if it changed, say foo://bar to
foo://baz, where the new repos root was in fact foo://baz/blah (that is,
if the relocate parameters were shorter than the repository root). I
don't think that longer relocate params should be disallowed.
