Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

❯ git checkout -b branch/with/slash Switched to a new branch 'branch/with/slash' ❯ echo "foobar" > foobar.txt ❯ git stash Saved working directory and index state WIP on slash: 41dc5da git: update .gitconfig

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

❯ git stash list stash@{0}: WIP on branch/with/slash: 41dc5da git: update .gitconfig

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

❯ git stash list stash@{0}: WIP on slash: 41dc5da git: update .gitconfig

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

the displayed branch name in `git stash` output is truncated

I can reproduce the issue using this reproducer:

```

mkdir test && cd test && git init &&

# make initial commit first, since git stash requires it echo "./" > slashdot && git commit -m "slashdot" &&

# stash WIP git checkout -b slash/dot && echo "slashdot" >> slashdot && git stash push -m "slashdot" ```

Note that when stashing, the message says "Saved working directory and index state On dot: slashdot" although we are currently on `slash/dot` branch.
