[Python-apps-team] Bug#842503: mercurial-git: Type error when cloning https

[Christophe Troestler]

Package: mercurial-git
Version: 0.8.5-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The command

    hg clone https://github.com/Chris00/mesh.git

fails with the error message below.  The same happens with mercurial 
3.9.2-1.

** Unknown exception encountered with possibly-broken third-party 
   extension git
** which supports versions 3.7 of Mercurial.
** Please disable git and try your action again.
** If that fixes the bug please report it to 
   https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/issues
** Python 2.7.12+ (default, Sep  1 2016, 20:27:38) [GCC 6.2.0 20160927]
** Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 3.9.1)
** Extensions loaded: color, hgk, shelve, git
