Nix interprets a path-like URI as a git repository if any of the path's
parents is a git repository. Since home-manager uses a default flake URI
of ~/.config/nixpkgs/flake.nix, if you have a git repository as your
home directory and a '*' .gitignore it leads to the following problems:
evaluating derivation 'git+file:///Users/dongcarl?dir=.config%2fnixpkgs#homeConfigurations."dongcarl".activationPackage'
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
.config
This is solved by explicitly specifying the `path:` URI type prefix for
the default flake URI argument.
