hg-fast-export's id validation is more permissive than git fast-import #242

hg-fast-export can write commits with committer/author ids that git fast-import rejects. I found this issue with https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss.

I have a local fix for this and will open a PR shortly.

See #243 for why this is considered a feature and not a bug.
