Url produced by "Open File on Remote" is url-escaped twice

• GitLens Version: 9.8.5
• VSCode Version: Code 1.36.1 (2213894ea0415ee8c85c5eea0d0ff81ecc191529, 2019-07-08T22:59:35.033Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17134

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a branch that includes the "#" character in its name. Our branch naming convention is of the form "#{work-item-id}.{work-item-title}", so a typical example is "#123.fix-all-the-things".
2. Make this new branch your current branch.
3. In VS Code, right-click a file and choose "Show File History in View".
4. In the "File History" section, hover over a commit and click the "Open File on Remote" icon.

Expected Outcome:
You should see the file shown in the browser.

Actual Outcome:
My default browser opens the file, but Azure Devops shows this error:

TF401175:The version descriptor <Branch: {my branch name} > could not be resolved to a version in the repository {my repository name}

When I looked closely at the URL, I saw that after # was escaped as %23, it was subsequently escaped again giving %2523. This meant that the server was looking for a branch name starting with "%23" instead of "#".

Using the example branch name from above:

• Expected: version=GB%23123.fix-all-the-things
• Actual: version=GB%2523123.fix-all-the-things

I dug into this and it looks like it is an issue in vscode: microsoft/vscode#76606 (comment). I don't currently have a workaround at this point. Hopefully the vscode issue with be resolved quickly.

I can no longer reproduce this problem. However, I noticed that the "Open File on Remote" button now open a url containing the commit hash rather than the branch name.
