http-push: Make WebDAV work with (broken?) default apache2 WebDAV module

WebDAV on Debian unstable cannot handle renames on WebDAV from
file.ext to newfile (without ext) when newfile* already
exists. Normally, git creates a file like 'objects/xx/sha1.token',
which is renamed to 'objects/xx/sha1' when transferred completely.

Just use '_' instead of '.' so WebDAV doesn't see it as an extension
change.
