Git-Flow fails on branch names with spaces

[DarrenBishop]

Would be awesome if there can be some simple/configurable sanitisation of the branch name used for the feature/hotfix/bugfix such that spaces are replaced with underscores and punctuation removed or replaced with underscores also.

I use JIRA integration and for any other issue tracker that uses PRJ-1234 style issue-ids, it would be great if an issue with id PRJ-1234 and summary Some JIRA managed issue with spaces in the summary could be transformed into

<branch-type>/PRJ-1234-Some_JIRA_managed_issue_with_spaces_in_the_summary

The UI offers many options; it would be even better if there was an option (checkbox) to 'guess' the branch-type e.g. a bug in JIRA maps to a bugfix branch in git-flow.

I narrowed down a possible location for this change to here:

gitflow4idea/src/main/java/gitflow/ui/GitflowOpenTaskPanel.java

Line 119 in 8d35064

public void commit() {

ps. I am not experienced in Intellij UI Plugin development so hesitate to raise a PR for this - specifically, I am not familiar enough with the toolchain to test the changes, which is important, right?

Thanks for the suggestion.
"to 'guess' the branch-type e.g. a bug in JIRA maps to a bugfix branch in git-flow." How would you logically implement this?
