Currently you can't specify a patch name that matches the name of one of
the stgit special files under .git/patches/<branch-name>.  Let's use a
new subdirectory under .git/patches/<branch-name> to contain just the
patch directories to remove this limitation.

This patch doesn't fix the already created branches. It would be
useful to upgrade the branch structure automatically if the patches
directory is not found.

the reason i didn't do that is because i wanted to allow older versions 
of StGIT to continue to work on existing repositories.

what if i added a migration tool to allow a user to switch back and forth?
