Hey,
It would be super awesome if we could specify some format for the branch name created.

Use-case:
Our CI system sees a PR raised and will run through a build process that generates a Docker image and tags it with the branch name. Unfortunately Docker tags have more limited scope than Git branches...
A tag name must be valid ASCII and may contain lowercase and uppercase letters, digits, underscores, periods and dashes. A tag name may not start with a period or a dash and may contain a maximum of 128 characters.

The / in the Dependabot branches is causing that tagging to fail. We can work around this with some awk/shell wizardry I guess, but would be nice not to have to do this.

Copied from original issue: dependabot/feedback#72
