will give hints on which branches need adjustment for starting over
again.
As mercurial appears to be much less picky about the syntax of the
author information than git, an author mapping file can be given to
hg-fast-export to fix up malformed author strings. The file is
specified using the -A option. The file should contain lines of the
form "FromAuthor=ToAuthor". The example authors.map below will
translate "User <garbage<user@example.com>" to "User <user@example.com>".
-- Start of authors.map --
User <garbage<user@example.com>=User <user@example.com>
-- End of authors.map --
