New submission from Dmitriy Taychenachev <dimichxp at gmail.com>:

Currently mercurial performs two transformations of changelog data: strips
newlines/spaces in description and encodes user/description to utf8. This makes
hg-git extenstion to lose original commit metadata when converting some git
repos to hg thus making it imposible to convert hg repo back to git preserving
original commit ids.
