This causes Git to create a local ref named refs/head/<rev>, e.g.
$ git -C ~/.cache/nix/gitv3/11irpim06vj4h6c0w8yls6kx4hvl0qd0gr1fvk47n76g6wf1s1vk ls-remote --symref .
5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30 refs/heads/5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30
7f6bde8a20de4cccc2256f088bc5af9dbe38881d refs/heads/7f6bde8a20de4cccc2256f088bc5af9dbe38881d
which confuses readHead(), leading to errors like
fatal: Refusing to point HEAD outside of refs/
warning: could not update cached head 'd275d93aa0bb8a004939b2f1e87f559f989453be' for 'file:///tmp/repo'

Git interprets them as part of the file name, so passing parameters
like 'rev' breaks. Only relevant for testing (when _NIX_FORCE_HTTP is
set) and local bare repos.

In general we should set the path display prefix on the inner
accessor, so we now pass the display prefix to getAccessor().
(cherry picked from commit 3032512425)
Fixes messages like 'copying /tmp/repo/tmp/repo to the store'. The
PosixSourceAccessor already sets the prefix. Setting the prefix twice
shouldn't be a problem, but GitRepoImpl::getAccessor() returns a
wrapped accessor so it's not actually idempotent.
(cherry picked from commit 102d90ebf0)
The main improvement is that the new message gives an example of a path
that is referenced, which should make it easier to track down. While
there, I also clarified the wording, saying exactly why the paths in
question were illegal.

This does not include any automation for the release branch, but
is based on the configuration of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12349
pre-commit run -a nixfmt-rfc-style
I started getting these warnings `warning: download buffer is full; consider increasing the 'download-buffer-size' setting` but the documentation does not make it obvious what unit of measurement it accepts.
1. Fix this eval error:
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master#tabs-errors
The dev package output (actually a separate derivation) needs to skip
this for cross just as the main package output does.
2. Deduplicate libs attrset and list.
3. Move `nix-functional-tests` to `checkInputs`.
With the Meson build system, we no longer need a `check` vs
`install-check` distinction, so it is simpler to just keeep
everything in one place.
This label will be useful for constructing queries to find backportable PRs.
Specifically, those should omit both automatic backports and
"backports reviewed" PRs.
