When importing CVS tags, strip all the inappropriate strings from the
tag names as we translate them to git tag names.

Unfortunately, this isn't quite sufficient.  Consider the case of a tag
named "foo.lock."  The .lock rule doesn't match, because it's not at the
end of the string -- but after s/\.+$// runs, it _is_ at the end, and
hence invalid.  A similar problem exists with a tag named "a.@{.b",
given the ordering of @{ and .. removal.

Something like the following would suffice:

    1 while $xtag =~ s/
               (?: \.\.        # Tag cannot contain '..'.
               |   \@{         # Tag cannot contain '@{'.
               |   \.lock $    # Tag cannot end with '.lock'.
               | ^ \.          # Tag cannot begin...
               |   \. $        # ...or end with '.'
               )//xg;
