Import of crosstool-ng from Mercurial fails with unknown revid

The import fails with 'has no revision ('hg-v1:5059b7b993fce69f7d95845802d5e60bae1756f1',)

(hmm. The tuple-with-a-string-instead-of-just-a-string is suspicious)

I need this import to create the Linaro branch and to start development on it.

[Michael Hope (michaelh1)]

A import-via-git (hg -> git -> bzr using hggit then bzr-git) works so there's nothing wrong with the original repo.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

That sounds about right. The hg importer unfortunately is much less reliably than the svn and git importers at the moment.

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

Linaro asked for this to be escalated, so I'll put it on our short list. Jelmer, do you have any idea how hard it would be to fix?
