    Description

      When I create a new branch from the Jira item, Bitbucket used to clean up invalid filename characters in in Windows. Now it doesn’t

      Steps:

      1. Create a Jira item with an invalid windows filename character in the name:


      2. Press the “Create Branch” button on the Jira item

      3. On the “Create branch” screen the name given for the new branch now contains the invalid path characters:


      4. Press the “Create” button. If you try and switch to this new branch from a windows machine, it fails

      Bitbucket used to be smart enough to remove these characters, but this functionality was lost in the last few days
