I'm using bzexport for the first time.  I've tried three times with different formats and all I get is the unhelpful error:

$ hg bzexport -e tip 648949
saved edited form in ../../.hg/last_bzexport.txt
abort: Edited form ../../.hg/last_bzexport.txt has invalid format

Here's the last one I tried:

Bug: 648949

Attachment Filename: remove-has-js-generators-define
Attachment Description: Remove uses of HAS_JS_GENERATORS
Attachment Comment (appears as a regular comment on the bug):
The attached patch removes uses of HAS_JS_GENERATORS, though it keeps
the define for now in case someone else is using it.  Generators will be
always on in ES6 (though in a slightly different form).

---- END Attachment Comment ----
So the bug here is that the error is unhelpful; also that it's impossible to edit the message and get bzexport to try again given that file as input.
