[issue2417] hg import with # comments in description

[John Hein]

New submission from John Hein <r8yo1b03 at sneakemail.com>:

If you have lines in a description for a changeset that have # at the start
of the line, export of that changeset and subsequent import will lose those
description lines during the import.

Workaround: put a space in front of # description lines in the export output
before running import.

example:

hg init a
cd a
echo 0 > a
hg ci -A -m 0 a
echo 1 > a
cat << eof > log
1
# comment for 1
eof
hg ci -l log a
hg log -v          # observe log entry for rev 1
hg export -o p 1
cd ..
hg clone -r 0 a b
cd b
hg import ../a/p
hg log -v          # observe rev 1 log missing the # line
