At this point, I'd like to not change the escaping in the bazimport
code, except where it fails to escape and this cannot be incompatible...
as there a a non trivial number of folk (and no I don't mean canonical -
we've *done* our conversion for the most part and are not needing to
interoperate, the remaining branches can always be done on the current
code base) already importing and interoperating/migrating.. I think the
solution  you need is teaching revision-store to escape/unescape, and a
new branch format marker.
