I think the issue is that # is meant to be evaluated client-side, so a
smart http server can't do much with it.

I believe the best-liked one was parameters, so:

http://path/to/base;branch
or was it
http://path/to/base;branch=foo

That would require escaping or quoting in the terminal, but at least it
gets sent to the server.
