I'd vote for completely dropping paths for local repositories.
This can easily be checked with hg.islocal() or repo.local()

The directory name might be private, too, e.g.
"fixes-for-customer-xyz" (or just "xyz", which might be as
problematic as the long name).

On a second thought even http/ssh repos might contain private names,
so should the path be removed everywhere unless one configures fetch
to enable it?
