We have a tag name with some special characters. The tag name is 'Build%20V%20${bamboo.custom.jiraversion.name}%20Build%20721'. In somecases where autocompletion is used an error is given, such as 'bash: Build%20V%20${bamboo.custom.jiraversion.name}%20Build%20721: bad substitution'. This can be invoked by typing 'git checkout B' and then pressing tab. Of course; the tag is useless but still I guess this is a bug in the autocompletion of git.
