since we do not really understand the implications of that changes when the authors have a . in their name we move it to the treated inbox and invite jf to discuss it in the list and resubmit a fix.
That's a problem indeed. Seaside and many other (mostly commercial) projects use named branches excessively. The $. is used to separate the branch from the author initials. Unfortunately this support is broken in Pharo and the fix solves the issue we have with the Pharo Monticello. I think it is crucial to any version control system to properly support named branching.
