FTR. There are no "known brakages", at least to me. Max Horn tends to hoard
these issues and never report them (unless an opportunity to criticize
git-remote-hg comes, apparently).

The very unlikely issue that nobody has reported about hg multiple heads and gc
I just fixed, and the issue he just reported about 'foo' and 'foo/bar' is newly
reported, and there's no easy way to fix this. My proposal would be to have
some sort of branch mapping mechanism in fast-import, but hardly something that
should prevent the move out of contrib.
