Re: [PATCH] translate bad characters in refnames during git-svn fetch

also sprach Eric Wong [off-list ref] [2007.07.16.0530 +0200]:

The major issue with this is that it doesn't handle odd cases
where a refname is sanitized into something (say "1234~2"
sanitizes to "1234=2"), and then another branch is created named
"1234=2".

Well, we can't please everyone, can we? :)

I like Jan's proposal about using the % escape, even though it
doesn't make pretty branch names.

On the other hand, we could make the translation regexps
configurable...
