This FTBFS bug has been caused by the migration of Mercurial 4.0 into
testing. Mercurial 4.0 brings about a number of changes which break
git-remote-hg's tests, particularly in the areas of bookmarks and tags.
As a result, I'm not willing to just disable the failing tests.

Unfortunately upstream [1] [2] is not responsive at the moment. I have
noticed another fork [3] which is in significantly better shape when
using Mercurial 4.0 (only two tests failing), but this has diverged
significantly from the original upstream. As a result, it is not
possible to cherry-pick a patch or two which would resolve this issue.

Assistance from someone with knowledge of both Git and Mercurial
internals would be gratefully accepted.

Regards,
Jon
