But the purpose of the namespacing is to be able to continue the correct
incremental import, so it would make sense to do some arbitrary
transformation to make your url be a valid ref directory, and use that.

It would make sense to add support for a namespace where fast-import can
write whatever it wants, and it'll get discarded after the fetch is done,
if it's the case that anyone can stand not having incremental imports.

I remember a patch series by someone else a lot more that _disabled_
creating of refs during fast-import, and instead allowed for
specifying what refs to update with which values at the end of the
import.
