Yeah, that is much nicer. I think "," is allowed in ref names, but I
am tempted not to care here. It is not as if this is a low-level
feature, and most people will not be crazy enough to use commas in their
branch-names. IOW, you will get into trouble only if you have crazy
names _and_ you want to use this particular feature. If we wanted to be
complete, we could provide a quoting mechanism, but that is perhaps
excessive.

Yeah, I agree it is Ok not to support crazy people in this case.  Not
supporting from the very beginning is quite different from _breaking_ them
;-)
