I agree we do not give the "portable to version 7" prize
anymore.  But you made me realize another thing.

I think it should make sure orig_namespace has one and only one
trailing slash, because otherwise "--original refs/heads//"
would lead you to the same disaster.

Perhaps,

	orig_namespace=$(expr "$OPTARG/" : '\(.*[^/]\)/*$')/

See separate proposal which I find still prettier (and which does not
fork).

But I really don't think we should bend over backwards: multiple end
slashes have explicit manual origin.  People deserve what they get
then.
