We currently class this as invalid and the importer falls over in a
heap.
We either need to 1) accept this, 2) fix it up for them, 3) not make
it easy to do that in the first place.
I think that we want this to be the expected process, as it will be needed
for build-from-branch,
so I think that 3 is the best option.
Thanks,
James
