Ondrej Stanek a7955bc49b Update head2branch plugin to accept hg commit hash
The revision number isn't a unique identifier of commits across
repository clones and forks, while the hg hash is guaranteed to be stable.

## Convert Head to Branch
`fast-export` can only handle one head per branch. This plugin makes it possible
to create a new branch from a head by specifying the new branch name and
the first divergent commit for that head.
Note: the hg hash must be in the full form, 40 hexadecimal characters.
Note: you must run `fast-export` with `--ignore-unnamed-heads` option,
otherwise, the conversion will fail.
To use the plugin, add the command line flag `--plugin head2branch=name,<hg_hash>`.
The flag can be given multiple times to name more than one head.
