I'd be in favor of a strict naming convention, it just makes it easier<BR>
to communicate. I'm particularly in favor of the lowercase-dash<BR>
convention.<BR>

If someone says "go checkout my-stuff-here" they immediately know you<BR>
are talking about a branch, and not about a directory or a file etc.<BR>
