[issue2938] qimporting a URL with a question mark in it is broken in 1.9

[Ehsan Akhgari]

New submission from Ehsan Akhgari <ehsan at mozilla.com>:

When I upgraded to Mercurial 1.9, this command doesn't work correctly any more:

hg qimport 'https://bug674861.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=550096'

Its result is a plain HTML file being imported into the patch queue, as if
the URL passed to hg is
'https://bug674861.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi' (but since this is
an SSL site, I can't verify that exactly using a tool like wireshark).

This breaks the workflow of at least a bunch of people who work on Mozilla,
myself included.
