Naming and Directory Structure
------------------------------
Annotations are named by appending ".txt" to the basename of the
repository component it describes, and by appending ".dir" to each
directory patch component leading to the repository component from
$GIT_DIR, and by prepending "annotations/" to the annotation pathname.

I suspect you can do the same without .dir but only with .txt.

Think about a directory containing directories "foo" and "foo.txt":

And where do you see foo.txt under $GIT_DIR/ hierarchy?

Are you saying I can't name a branch "foo.txt"? Or have the following
branches?

$GIT_DIR/refs/head/WidgetSoft/Blue
$GIT_DIR/refs/head/WidgetSoft/Red
$GIT_DIR/refs/head/WidgetSoft.txt/Blue
$GIT_DIR/refs/head/WidgetSoft.txt/Red
