Hmm no joy with \&. Seems to upset the invocation of git web-browse

  fatal: 'web--browse' appears to be a git command, but we were not

Using the following works as expected with no error with your updated patch.

  git config gitk.linkify.bugtracker.sub \
       'https://internalhost/code%26stuff/bugs.php?id=\1'

Jeff: This is great -- thanks!

I still had problems with using an & in the URL, even with the updated patch.
 I had to apply Chris's git-web--browse patch to get it to work.
