Which > is just ugly and confusing. If it looks like an URL, it should better be one. Git remote names already aren't "url"s in the http sense. We say "master:some.host/file/goes here/without/any/stupid/web-escapes" for the ssh names, and the same goes for "file:///name here" etc. People who think that git URL's are web-pages had better wake up and smell the coffee. They aren't. They never were. They never *should* be. This whole argument is idiotic. The #branch format was a mistake of cogito. Cogito is dead. Get over it already. We have a format already, and it has nothing to do with '#' or any idiotic web escape, or anything else. Linus
