Description
Bug description
Hi,
we have a Branch called: sprint_21_10-5013-benutzerin-benachrichtigung-awareness-personen-via-erwähnen.
If I try to open it in Gitpod i get the following Error:
Cannot find tag/branch for context: [...]/sprint_21_10-5013-benutzerin-benachrichtigung-awareness-personen-via-
erw%C3%A4hnen.
It looks like there's some problem with the umlaut "ä". I cloned the branch into a new one and replaced the letter with "ae" and now it works.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a branch with the german umlaut "ä"
- Open it in Gitpod via GitLab
Expected behavior
Gitpod opens branches with germans umlauts

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the GitLab branch-opening flow with a branch containing the German umlaut "ä", then trace the branch lookup in Gitpod. Done means Gitpod opens the branch successfully instead of reporting that it cannot find the context.
