Subject: [PATCH] Strip any trailing slash on destination argument
Message-ID: <200511012346.27393.Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de>

```
Needed because generating a target paths will add another slash.
This fixes e.g. "git-mv file dir/", which removed "file" from
version control by renaming it to "dir//file", as
git-update-index does not accept such paths.

Thanks goes to Ben Lau for noting this bug.
