Description

Some context: I'm preparing a repo to be merged into another repo and I'm rewriting commit messages so that the PR references in the hovers will still link back to the original repo. I think this is possible by changing the references from #[pr-number] to [owner]/[repo]#[pr-number] based on this regex. For example: try a rewritten squash (#3) -> try a rewritten squash (Jacksondr5/test-repo#3)

However, the hover opens a link with encoded backslashes in the repo name: https://github.com/Jacksondr5/test%5C-repo%5C/pull/3 . This also happens in the owner/org if there is a hyphen in the name. I've done a little digging and I think the issue is that the text is being escaped before the link is generated. I'll try to do some more digging later this week.

Is this a valid use case? Am I doing this the wrong way?

Reproduction steps (already done in this repo):

1. Start with a repo that has a commit history with PR merges in it
2. Rewrite commits using git-filter-repo: git filter-repo --replace-message replace.txt
   • git-filter-repo manpage
   • replace.txt used in example
3. Hover over blame in editor to trigger GitLens hover
4. Click PR reference in commit message
