e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed.
- (merge 9892d5d jk/interpret-branch-name-fix later to maint).
* "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different
validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the
client side's validation to allow such a ref.

bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series.
