I'm not really sure why the freedom to choose your own punctuation is a really important freedom :-). Regardless, the current plan for making branch renaming, branch metadata, delegated permissions, removing the global name requirement, etc., all work, involves the scheme described on that wiki page -- which requires that branches have file-name-like names. So you may want to speak up about that :-). -- Nathaniel -- "...these, like all words, have single, decontextualized meanings: everyone knows what each of these words means, everyone knows what constitutes an instance of each of their referents.
