No doubt both of these are reasons he selected ':'. Its a character that
nobody would reasonably use for a branch name anyways.
On the filesystem, I've got no doubts that it'll be encoded differently,
Though there is probabably a better way of doing it, two ways (both with
negative consequences) quickly come to mind:
1. Add another level to the name on the filesystem:
cat--branch--subbranch--version
2. Use another character on the filesystem:
cat--branch~subbranch--version
Like I said, there's probably a better way of doing this.
