stupid: remove an incorrect, implicit assumption in fetch_branchrev() The code in fetch_branchrev() could fail under relatively obscure circumstances: it combined two strings (path & child) by concatenating them with '/' inserted in the middle. However, convert_rev() contains an assertion that no touched file paths start with '/'. Combined, these two amounted to an incorrect assumption that no files where touched within an empty branchpath.
