The current behaviour is quite unhelpful, given that it either allows you to abort the conversion or generate a bogus repository. As an example, GitHub rejects anything with a `.git` in it. Instead, the new default is to issue a warning and simply discard the dangerous files. Although this might cause problems down the line, I'd much rather have those problems than just have hg-git give up. As an example of such a bogus repository, look no further than this one. c43c02cc803a committed some tests from Dulwich with nested Git repositories, and a061dce264b7 renamed them. Prior to this change, hg-git could not push its own repository to GitHub. Further more, Mercurial disallows paths containing carriage return (CR) and newline (NL) characters; as noted in the original Mercurial bug report that enabled this behaviour,[1] such paths appear for folder icons on macOS. This was reported on the list by Uwe Brauer.[2] Since Mercurial simply cannot store these files, we always either skip them or abort the conversion.
