Bug Description

Converting update-manager from bzr to git fails (on Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10):

mkdir update-manager.git
cd update-manager.git
git init --initial-branch=master
bzr fast-export --plain ../update-manager | git fast-import
```

This is a bug in bzr fast-export. "bzr log -v -r2" shows that Common/ is renamed to UpdateManagerCommon/:
