Ah.  I'm not sure on which end the problem is, but it's just a question of
where a relative path is relative to.  In defaultrepo it ought to be
relative to the root of the repository, but either the wrong value is being
stored there, or it's being interpereted relative to the current directory
(which would be silly).  If someone else wants to work this out, that would
be great.  Should be reasonably straightforward.
