Fetching from a remote using a native Windows path produces these warnings:
C:\Temp\gittest>git fetch C:\Temp\gittest
warning: unable to access '.git/remotes/C:\Temp\gittest': Invalid argument
warning: unable to access '.git/branches/C:\Temp\gittest': Invalid argument
>From C:\Temp\gittest
* branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD
The functions that read the branches and remotes files are protected by
a valid_remote_nick() check. Its implementation does not take Windows
paths into account, so that the caller simply concatenates the paths,
leading to the error seen above.
Use is_dir_sep() to check for both slashes and backslashes on Windows.
