Import and export are used in three possible scenarios:
1) Import into fossil, discard old repository
2) Export from fossil, discard fossil repository
3) Fossil is one end of a bi-directional bridge

The first two cases are one shot, thus there is no backwards compat to
be concerned about.

The third case should also not be a problem for existing setups because
master being renamed to trunk has already happened, so master doesn't
exist here.

So I'm pretty sure the proposed change only affects new setups.
