It feels wrong to use "/" both in branch names and as separators in
selectors.  No idea whether that actually causes any problem, it just
feels wrong.

I guess I'd feel happier if there were some defined quoting mechanism
that would permit a user interface to provide selectors and know
exactly what they were providing.  That ought to be easy enough to do.
