: Wow, that's stretching my memory. I guess you mean the <code>/~</code> needed at the end of SourceForge branches. I think that I was going to implement the proper URL construction with <code>/~</code>, but the logic required evaded me and I never completed it. The problem is documented in {{tl|repo link}}, specifically in the parameter help description. E.g.:
: <q>For SourceForge git repositories, if the character <code>/</code> is present in the branch name, the text <code>/~</code> must be appended to the branch.</q>
: I'm not sure if MediaWiki allows us to detect if a certain character is present in a template parameter value. Again from distant memory, I think I asked for an extension to be installed to enable this to be implemented, but it never was. This is not a simple problem! Hence I took the shortcut of using the above text in the documentation.
