"Branch name doesn't conform to GIT standards" (moving felipec:#7)

This request is transferred from the old project, and may be more relevant here.
See the discussion in the old issue felipec:#7

git-remote-hg: Fix . at end of ref

Any Mercurial tag/branch/bookmark that ended with a period would be
rejected by fast-import. The repository could be cloned, but any
further fetch would fail.

Use a similar trick to the space handling, but only when the period is
at the end of the ref.

Probably need a more general solution to this problem.

I can combine this request (#18) with #19 in the one "pull request" (as is done in #16) for your comfort and beautiful history, if both of them are approved.

@alexei-31 You can write felipec/git#7 to reference to issues in other repositories, like this: felipec/git#7

[alexei-31]

As I understand, git-remote-hg is not use felipec/git in work.
Help the little-known fork of git by @felipec is useless here.
All use the official git repository to install git utility. Many installed a binary package, and not the source code.
Maybe something I do not understand, but can not help the fork fix crash of this program?

@alexei-31 I am once again not sure what you are talking about, at all :-(. Does it refer to my previous comment? If so: My previous comment just was meant to tell you that instead of writing felipec:[#7](https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg/pull/7) you can write felipec/git#7 :-)

Here I offer 0669be9 as better solution of the issue, that has started @andyparkins in original request.
These are different versions of code, your comment is written to my comment about another solution.

New solution of @Benabik make checks only at the end strings, as I understand the code.

[fingolfin]

I was not talking about code. I was not talking about this PR.

I only tried to explain that you can write USER/REPO#NUM instead of [#NUM](https://github.com/USER/REPO/pull/NUM)

[alexei-31]

Thank you, this way is easier.

Sorry did not immediately understand that we are about the design, not the code.

Is there a need to fix old messages to successfully complete PR?
