Now, when requesting the branch's tracking branch with `Head(...).tracking_branch()`, it doesn't remove the quotes and returns something like `origin/\"refs/heads/feature#123\"`.\r\n\r\nExample `.git/config` file:\r\n\r\n```\r\n[core]\r\n\trepositoryformatversion = 0\r\n\tfilemode = true\r\n\tbare = false\r\n\tlogallrefupdates = true\r\n\tignorecase = true\r\n\tprecomposeunicode = true\r\n[remote \"origin\"]\r\n\turl = /var/folders/n8/s89552kd2s9_v1lcgbgwl07r0000gn/T/PyGitUp.2r0xiioq/master.issue-55/.git\r\n\tfetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*\r\n[branch \"feature#123\"]\r\n\tremote = origin\r\n\tmerge = \"refs/heads/feature#234\"\r\n```\r\n\r\nReported in msiemens/PyGitUp#55","author":{"url":"https://github.com/msiemens","@type":"Person","name":"msiemens"},"datePublished":"2016-11-03T21:06:35.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/550/GitPython/issues/550"}
