Reproduction steps

1. Create a package (can be empty) with the following manifest:

   {
     "name": "pnpm-repro",
     "version": "1.0.0",
     "dependencies": {
       "@mui/monorepo": "https://github.com/michaldudak/material-ui.git#npm-publishing/markdown"
     }
   }

2. pnpm i

Describe the Bug

The following errors are printed to the console:

 WARN  GET https://github.com/michaldudak/material-ui.git#npm-publishing/markdown error (ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_EXTRACT). Will retry in 10 seconds. 2 retries left.
 WARN  GET https://github.com/michaldudak/material-ui.git#npm-publishing/markdown error (ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_EXTRACT). Will retry in 1 minute. 1 retries left.
 ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_EXTRACT  Failed to unpack the tarball from "https://github.com/michaldudak/material-ui.git#npm-publishing/markdown": Error: Invalid checksum for TAR header at offset 0. Expected NaN, got 42982

Expected Behavior

The package is installed without errors.

Note that installing https://github.com/michaldudak/material-ui.git#markdown-package, which points to the exact same commit succeeds. This leads me to believe there's an issue with resolving branches having a slash in their name. I confirmed this with another branch with a slash.
