/is used to separate the same branch in different repos. For exampleorigin/mainandremote/main. Surprising that the other stuff is legal thoughYou can still freely use
/in branch names. Having remote branches available asremote/branchis just a convenience, and you can delete or modify them locally. It’s common to use/in branch names, too.Okay? I'm well aware. I do so all the time
That's true, i didn't think about that when I wrote it.
I'm used to the world being pretty simple though, so for me that slash has always just been a visual representation of the location of the branch if that makes sense. We don't have to have a slash in the branch name, only to use it to represent where that branch is located. It could have been something git only used for presentation.
