error: The path name '.git' is invalid: it is illegal to start the
name with a period. Path names are alphanumeric and can include the
symbols +-._?= and must not begin with a period. Note: If '.git' is a
source file and you cannot rename it on disk,
builtins.path { name = ... } can be used to give it an alternative
name.
