Re: [JGIT PATCH 2/2] Make Repository.isValidRefName compatible with Git 1.6.3

There must be at least some deprecation period during which
also the old .lock lockfiles are considered and created.
Just imagine someone modifying the ref with an older version,
which knows nothing about ..lck.

As lock files are only supposed to be created by Git itself, and have a 
maximum lifetime until the end of the process, I think we do not need a 
grace period at all.

Could there be people with slightly older git and shiny new jgit (or the
other combination) working on the same repository?
