Perhaps this should go in the Git FAQ at
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq .  Does your message with Message-ID
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0710162228560.25221@racer.site>, subject "Re:
remote#branch", accurately describe the full problem with using #,
namely that refs can contain #?

Any other problems besides not having the ability to reference more
than one branch with this syntax?
