It would default to f rather than f'.  convert-ly would change your old
sources to use \relative c' explicitly.  Issue 3229 (not going to pass
anytime soon I guess) has a rather more tricky convert-ly rule which
changes almost everything to the new \relative { ... } form.  I'll try
to give a way to use optional convert-ly rules (so that users may call
this converter on their own if they want to), but that is likely going
to take weeks.
