Sure, # doesn't seem like a bad one. Its a valid filesystem character in
*nix, but one has to escape it in order to use it. That makes it
unpopular for users to use with branch names.
However, using # probably isn't such a hot idea. '#' is a space filled
character (which is a term I just made up meaning "It doesn't lend
itself towards seperating words"
Here's how # looks in comparison to some other characters, (some of which
have their own problems).
tla--devo#fixtmp--1.3
address@hidden
tla--devo~fixtmp--1.3
tla--devo.fixtmp--1.3
tla--devo^fixtmp--1.3
tla--devo_fixtmp--1.3
tla--devo[fixtmp]--1.3 (This one is actually my favorite)
