;) you mean naming "limitations".
Yeah...never did really understand why Github did that.

It's probably because they use urls like:
https://github.com/dantman/mediawiki-core/blob/skinrewrite-private/includes/skin/MWSkin.php
If they let you use / in repo names. It would be hard to separate the repo
name from the action, branch, etc...
Especially if you use a reponame such as 'mysite/downloads'.
That said that's their fault for not doing something fancy to the urls to
support /.
eg: In gareth I use
http://localhost:8000/p/gareth.git/remotes/3d4df4437416dc98a235f29ffb712be4065ea51f
The .git lets me know where the project name terminates.
Though I could have instead used something like
/p/{mediawiki/core}//remotes/...
