unable to resolve reference ... : Not a directory about fast-export

According to google search, one similar issue is git does not allow slash character in branch name.
I checked repo's branch name, it did have slash character in branch name, but didn't find "stdlib-unification/py3k" from the error message:

$hg branches |grep py3k
py3k 78865:9b081ccd78af
py3k-qualname 72716:9f0e2a2c6084
py3k-ceil-floor 59071:6a1c5f8e7931
py3k-listview_str 58456:18626459a9b2

$hg branches |grep stdlib
vendor/stdlib 78042:a3b827ca23fa (inactive)
vendor/stdlib-3.3.5 72484:80b492d79663 (inactive)

We used the tool for pypy repo (https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy). And after solved the issue "Empty path component found in input #48", there appeared another error:

As a direct conversion attempt of a local clone of https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy crashes out with "Error: repository has at least one unnamed head: hg r72634" you must have done something to your local clone first, what was it?

According to google search, one similar issue is git does not allow
slash character in branch name.
I checked repo's branch name, it did have slash character in branch
name, but didn't find "stdlib-unification/py3k" from the error message:

You have to run "hg branches" with -c to se all the branches

$ hg branches -c |grep stdlib
...
vendor/stdlib 78042:a3b827ca23fa (inactive)
...
vendor/stdlib-3.3.5 72484:80b492d79663 (inactive)
...
stdlib-unification/py3k 54912:4c6780e83b78 (closed)
...

So the right way to fix this is probably the solution outlined in issue #21

"Error: repository has at least one unnamed head: hg r72634"

I add "--force" parameter.

We worked around the issue by fast-exporting only default branch.
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy -b default
And used fast-export to work on local default branch.

Commit 3c27c69 adds renaming support for tags and branches which should allow you to convert all the branches.

Great, now the issue was solved. :)
