Note, however, that one should then perform a fetch from each relevant remote
to fully complete the conversion (prior to subsequent pushing).
Some Mercurial names (of branches, bookmarks, tags) may not be a valid git
refname. See e.g. `man git-check-ref-format` for a rather involved set of rules.
Moreover, while a slash `/` is allowed, it is not supported to have both a `parent`
and `parent/child` branch (though only the latter is allowed). So, pending some
"nice" bidirectional encoding (not even e.g. URL encoding is safe actually), it is more
likely that only a few instances (out of a whole Mercurial repo) are
problematic. This could be handled by a single-branch clone and/or configuring
a suitable refspec. However, it might be more convenient to simply filter out a
few unimportant pesky cases, which can be done by configuring a regural
expression in following setting:
--------------------------------------
% git config remote-hg.ignore-name nasty/nested/name

Recall also that a config setting can be provided at clone time
(command line using `--config` option).

% git config --global remote-hg.remove-username-quotes false
