Yes. And if there's a file in the repository with ; (or &) in it, that
char would have to be URI-escaped on the command line. So what?
<rant>I'm sick and tired of people who proclaim that anything that makes
you type extra chars on the command line is unacceptable -- and I don't

have invented the Direct Brain Plug-In interface by now and removed the
need for _any_ typing at all. But no, that's too obvious...</rant>
