Git branch name containing '.' character returns "File not found"

Hi. Encountered an issue with using webhooks via GitLab. Had a Git branch with a name of the form "Rnn.n.n" (minus the quotes). Used GitLab Test button to test the webhook. Everytime POEditor reported "File not found". This took a while to determine that POEditor doesn't like branch names containing the '.' character. When we changed the branch to a name without any '.' characters it worked fine. Would have saved an awful lot of time if the error message was more specific (e.g. stating "Illegal/unsupported character encountered in branch name"). However, if the character is legal in Git, POEditor should support it too.

    Hi,

    We have no issue with "." characters in branch names. But your GitLab .htaccess has. When it sees the "." in the branch name it sends the API request in 404 (it doesn't even recognize it as an API request and throws an interface 404).
    That's the reason we don't know if the branch actually exists or not so we can throw you an appropriate error.
