Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I would like to use Netlify CMS in a shared Monorepo. However, there's a step in the Monorepo's CI/CD pipeline that requires the branch name to conform to a specific string pattern (here is the function used in the branch name validation step: https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/validation#IsDNS1123Label). I'm not permitted to exclude the branch validation step either, nor am I able to change the branch name programmatically.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
An option to configure the branch name delimiter in config.yml from `/` to anything, e.g.,
```
# config.yml
# perhaps limited to common, acceptable delimiters such as - and .
branchDelimiter: '-'
```
Source code where this change could be implemented maybe: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/blob/59b9348093b4da6fac67a146dd1f685aad1ca6bb/packages/netlify-cms-lib-util/src/APIUtils.ts
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I've considered moving my project that implements Netlify CMS out of the Monorepo, but it was not feasible to do so just because of an invalid branch name.
**Additional context**
Example of the invalid branch name failing the branch validation step in the Monorepo CI/CD pipeline
