Error converting Hg repo to Git: 'no match found'

Question

I'm trying to follow various other answers for converting .hg to .git. When I run

hg gexport --debug

I get an error on a revision saying

abort: data/web/Server/Properties/PublishProfiles/Web Deploy.pubxml@842a35fd10b511e515bfdf83c67300102000a187: no match found

What does this mean and what can I do about it?

I remember on that commit I had some trouble because I think I deleted the .xml file in some wrong way and needed to add it then commit then delete then commit again and that was the only way I could push.

Answer 1

I cloned from a different remote and it all worked.
