Using the special theme syntax "^"

[alxy]

I wanted to have my theme in a separate repo and update it each time october install is run. I tried using the new ^themename (gitrepo) syntax, however, now the theme folder name also includes the special character ^. Is there something I am missing?

Regarding the functionality: Is it correct that this will always pull the latest changes from the specified git repo (overriding any changes in the local copy)?

This feature currently is only supported by plugins. It would be relatively trivial to add the functionality for themes though:
