Bug Description

RepositoryFormatKnitPack5RichRoot uses the xml7 serializer, which supports by-reference trees. This has two ill effects:

1. Being serializer-compatible with --pack-0.92-subtree means that it can fetch inventories containing subtrees from such repos. This violates its contract.

2. Being serializer-incompatible with --rich-root-pack means that it cannot stack on top of rich-root-pack repositories.
