Of the 8 :GBrowse providers listed in the README, 7 make no attempt to
handle URL encoding. So it makes sense for Fugitive to take
responsibility for this. By transposing "%" and "~" in API parameters
and then reversing the process on the generated URL, we can accommodate
both usages. This is transitional and will later be ditched in favor of
straightforward URL encoding.

This is technically backwards incompatible, but I've never seen a remote
with URL encoding in practice. (Also I don't think anyone is actually
using this function.) One can use .pathname if they need the encoded
version.
Might do this for everything but let's start here. I initially went
with backslashes for URLs because that's how Vim on win32 normalizes
buffer names, and figured it might simplify things like equality checks.
But Vim itself breaks in some places. Editing a `file://` URL doesn't
work if backslashes are in use, and Vim unescapes incorrectly when
constructing <q-args> (see 6356bbc4a7).
Work trees and submodules have two things that could be called the Git
dir: the directory itself, and the ".git" at the root of the work tree.
Introduce "fugitive_dir" as our name for the one we consider canonical.
This is still a garbage fire, but at least now the use of `.git/refs/`
paths has been relegated to the public interface. This also fixes a lot
of quirks, and hopefully doesn't introduce too many new ones.
This will enable functions like FugitiveFind() to use fugitive#repo() as
the optional second parameter, which should make transitioning to the
new API a bit easier to do incrementally.
The \s and \S atoms consider space and tabs to be the only valid
whitespace characters, while the [:space:] character class also includes
control characters like newline and form feed.
This is not and can never be 100% perfect. There's no way to work back
from a file like info/exclude COMMIT_EDITMSG to the work tree. So
core.worktree continues to be recommended.
