Cloning repository on Windows with a file name with a trailing . (dot) fails

[TheJoelGray]

Reproduction steps

Attempt to clone a repository on Windows that has a file with a trailing . (dot) in the file name. You can use the example repository with this condition at https://gitlab.com/ThePaleOne/libgit2sharp-test.git. The following code will do this.

var repoUrl = "https://gitlab.com/ThePaleOne/libgit2sharp-test.git";
var _baseDirectory = @"D:\src\test\repo";

Console.WriteLine($"Cloning {repoUrl} to {_baseDirectory}");
Repository.Clone(repoUrl, _baseDirectory);

If you run this code on the same repository on Mac or Linux the repository clones just fine.

The contents of the repository shown below:

Expected behavior

Expect the repository to clone properly.
