Description

I did an upgrade to gitea 1.20.1 (from 1.19.x) and now I'm facing the issue with WebUI - it's returning 404 when branch name contains #.

Link contains unescaped # ( ...branch#130... ) - it could cause the problem 🤔

It's pretty severe bug bcs we are using reference of issue in branch name, so almost every branch has # in it's name 🙈

Should be fixed when https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/25875 is backported.
