Gitflow: Plus sign in the feature branch name

Git supports the + so it is specific to gitflow:

git branch 'google+'

Same issue. The "+" character doesn't work with gitflow.
git flow release start 1.0+1.1b1 works
git flow release finish 1.0+1.1b1 says Branch 'release/1.0+1.1b1' does not exist and is required.
I have to rename the branch to release/1.0_1.1b1, finish the release, create an other tag with the good name 1.0+1.1b1 and delete the other tag. A bit dispointed ;)

Thanks for your work !

Have the same problem here. This still doesn't seem to have been fixed. Using @pyby's workaround seems to work, but it's just a bit hacky.

Worth referring to this is if you wanna do it this way though:

Just stepped on the trap as well... Hopefully we can have this fixed soon, plus sign is a valid way to add build info to version number per semver spec.

the following patch fixed things for me:
