Matthias should we get rid of that? It means that some characters that were otherwise valid will not be able to go in the branch name anymore. No big loss if you ask me.

we could avoid this loss if we change Repository.normalizeBranchName(String name) to first check if the passed

is already a valid ref, see https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/90474

I think it's ok to remove the checkbox if we accept already valid branch names.
