address@hidden windows... ":" seems perfect otherwise [the "hostname separator
on
unix" objection doesn't appear very significant -- that's only in very
specific contexts, none of which probably have much impact for arch branch
names]
[Since windows has other problems with arch filenames already, can't we just
say "filenames will be mangled on windows" and be done with it?]

Which common shells?
Also I wonder if it could cause problems with html, since html quoting uses
"%" (er, right?).

Isn't "." already legal in branch names? If so, I suspect it might be used
commonly already, with people embedding upstream versions in branch names,
etc.
"," seems nicer than "%" -- at least it looks more like a separator ("%" sort
looks mushed together, e.g., compare foo%bar with foo,bar).
