Unable to add repository from a github branch containing slash #6535

Description

Describe the issue you are experiencing

An add-on repository can be added from a custom branch like
https://github.com/username/repo#branch

I couldn't get this doesn't work when the branch contains a slash like
https://github.com/username/repo#feature/hot-new-stuff

In case it's not just a problem with my setup, I believe this to be a bug.
It's common for projects to prefix their branches with fix/ or feature/ and it should be supported.

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Which operating system are you running on?

Home Assistant Operating System

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to App store
  2. Click the three dots in the top right corner
  3. Click repositories
  4. Add https://github.com/username/repo#feature/hot-new-stuff

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

No
