References() returns forward slashes on Windows

[osklyar]

The following snippet

it, _ := repo.References()
it.ForEach(func(ref *plumbing.Reference) error {
    fmt.Println("found: " + string(ref.Name()))
    return nil
})

will print the following result in windows

found: refs\heads\master
found: refs\remotes\origin\SKOL_542_gradle_overall
found: refs\remotes\origin\master
found: HEAD

Is this intentional behaviour provided ?

Typo in the original title: it should read "backward slashes" on windows instead of "forward" as used by all git configs

The problem is most likely in readReferenceFile in dotgit.go using d.fs.Join. Surely at this point this join is ok to validate the existence of the reference on the file system, but passing obtained name into NewReferenceFromStrings causes the issue. Possibly it would be better for the latter function to swap the slashes. At least such as solution worked for me as a temporary fix.
