Re: [PATCH v3] remote-hg: do not fail on invalid bookmarks

> Mercurial can have bookmarks pointing to "nullid" (the empty root
> revision), while Git can not have references to it. When cloning or
> fetching from a Mercurial repository that has such a bookmark, the
> import failed because git-remote-hg was not be able to create the
> corresponding reference.

> particular, we still keep track of the fact that the remote repository
> has a bookmark of the given name, in case the user wants to modify that
> bookmark.
