Disallow refs starting with a non-letter or digit
Change the regexp for validating refs to require at least one letter or digit
before allowing the other special chars in the set `[.-_]`. Names that start
with `.` are traditionally Unix hidden files; let's ignore them under the
assumption they're metadata for some other tool, and we don't want to
potentially conflict with the special `.` and `..` Unix directory entries.
Further, names starting with `-` are problematic for Unix cmdline option
processing; there's no good reason to support that. Finally, disallow `_` just
on general principle - it's simpler to say that ref identifiers must start with
a letter or digit.
We also ignore any existing files (that might be previously created refs) that
start with `.` in the `refs/` directory - there's a Red Hat tool for content
management that injects `.rsync` files, which is why this patch was first
written.
V1: Update to ban all refs starting with a non-letter/digit, and
also add another call to `ostree_validate_rev` in the pull
code.
