Changes (by markjaquith):

  * milestone:  2.7 => 2.8

Comment:

 For about three months, 2.7 has stored media files using a relative path.
 See changeset [8796].

 Do note that it only applies to new uploads.  Uploads made using an
 earlier version of WordPress will still have a full path. We can probably
 fix this for 2.8 with a one-time upgrade routine.  We can also address the
 issue of whether WordPress should relocate your files when you change the
 upload directory.  That might not scale very well. At the very least, we
 should tell people that they'll have to move the files themselves when we
 detect the change.
