We are attempting to create a branch in the OS X Sourcetree client (4.2.0 426) with the ampersand symbol (&).  This is allowed in regular GIT, SourceTree for Windows and is also permitted under the git-check-ref-format guidelines, I therefore cannot see a reason why the OS X client should differ from the Windows client.

 

Thoughts please..

Hi @PK . Thank you for reaching out with the finding. We could reproduce the issue in Mac version of sourcetree. We will work on it and provide fix in upcoming release.
