4 months ago Better to just have slugify truncate the title at a sane limit like 80, maybe 100, chars. 80's generally deemed normal Git convention (and 72 is when GitHub will, when opening a PR, truncate your commit title and wrap it into the PR body, so that's another option, and a common convention).
It seems to me branch name is slugified from the title currently. This could give lengthy branch names. Git will create a local file(directory?) for a checked-out branch, and as a side effect, lengthy branch names gives lengthy file names. On the other hand, there is a 256-character length limit for filenames on Windows.
It'd be great to support explicit specification of branch names, like
spr diff --draft --branch_name=<hand-picked-branch-name-to-ensure-no-branch-conflict>
