Branch is not created by az repos ref create command

I want to automate branch creation for my project. I am using the command 

          az repos ref create --name testrelease/$MAJ_VER.$MIN_VER.$PATCH_VER --object-id xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --org https://dev.azure.com/myorg/ --project myproj--repository myrepo
 
I see the response,

    Please confirm branch naming format:

     

    az repos ref create --name refs/heads/testrelease/$MAJ_VER.$MIN_VER.$PATCH_VER --object-id xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --org https://dev.azure.com/myorg/ --project myproj --repository myrepo
