The upgrade code checks the parent folder. If one were to bypass this
check, by moving the 1.6 subfolder out of the 1.6 working copy, then it
would be possible to upgrade the subfolder. However such an upgraded
subfolder would be a complete 1.7 working copy. Moving it back into the
1.6 working copy won't work as the upgraded subfolder is now an entirely
separate working copy.
