Darn, darn, DARN!

Just when I squeezed that half an hour from the time I have to sleep, to 
provide documentation and tests, _just_ after I finished that, I got the 
idea that '%' might not be a 'bad ref char' after all.

And of course I was correct.

Just try this:

	$ git checkout -b %helloworld

and weep... so, no v3 of that patch, even if I have it right here.
