Subject: [PATCH] remote-hg: skip ill-formed references

From: Max Kirillov <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2013 04:15:42 +0300

References which fail check_refname_format() cause the whole
import to fail. This might be undesirable if the references
are not important.

A better solution would be to provide some mapping, either
by some reversible encoding, or by generating and storing
the associations locally.

But this is already going to allow working with many
existing repositories.

If there is no smarter solution ongoing maybe this could be
useful.
