What happened?

Customer has reported that using "+" in git reference results in an error but only when re-deploying, not in original deploy. Internal ticket: https://octopus.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/201846

Reproduction

Having a GIt tag with an added code such as SHA etc joined by a "+" results in the "+" being replace by a space on re-deploy E.g. "v2.2.183+61cb218" becomes "v2.2.183 61cb218" and generates an error: "No tag with the name 'refs/tags/v2.2.183 61cb218' exists in the repository".
