Yes, I know that tightening rules retroactively is bad, but this changes
the rules for refnames to forbid:
(1) a refname that ends with a dot.
We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a
valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
"either in A or B but not in both".
But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range
notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
notation was introduced.
Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".
(2) a refname that contains "@{" in it.
Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
as frotz@243 and we still want to keep supporting it, but "git branch
@{1}" is a disaster.
