[issue2997] Pulling from paths with fragments (#tag) broken between 1.7 and 1.9?

[Danny Tuppeny]

New submission from Danny Tuppeny <danny+hg at tuppeny.com>:

I was just trying to set my build server up (CC.NET) to build fro a specific 
tag. Since it doesn't have support for this, I just added the tag to the end 
of the repo path:

\\myserver\Development\MyRepo#Stage

However, I got this error:

abort: repository \\myserver\Development\MyRepo#Stage not found!

It worked fine on my local machine (1.7). I tried upgrading my local machine 
to the latest version, and now it fails with the same error. I've included 
the commands + output below. I can't find anything online about this problem 
- is this a bug, or is this no longer supported for network file paths?

C:\Temp>hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.7.3)
