Incompatibility with hg-git tip version due to rename detection

[fingolfin]

hg-git recently added file rename detection. In particular, they add a mercurial "extra" field where they record the "source" of renames, and this new field ("hg-git-rename-source=git") break things.

Note that Mercurial 3.3 is incompatible with hg-git 0.7.0, and so once hg 3.3 is out, one will have to use it with hg-git newer than 0.7.0, which in turn means git-remote-hg users may run into this issue.

Relevant hg-git commit:

Typical diff (from first hg-git test, "executable bit")

In case it helps (probably not): The following naive and brainless patch (i.e. made without actually thinking about the issue) is, not surprisingly, not helping much. It causes some tests to pass, but causes issues in others.

In order to properly fix this the new git extra metadata should be used first. That's a non-trivial port of the new hg-git functionality.
