Unimplemented short keyword: '_' when Cargo.toml under path starting with _

[jemtucker]

Problem

Since rust-1.79 we have been unable to build packages that include build.rs within our rust workspace with cargo due to the following error.

error: failed to determine package fingerprint for build script for foo v0.1.0 (/Users/jemtucker/src/mvp/_code/rust/foo)

Caused by:
  failed to determine the most recently modified file in /Users/jemtucker/src/mvp/_code/rust/foo

Caused by:
  failed to determine list of files in /Users/jemtucker/src/mvp/_code/rust/foo

Caused by:
  Unimplemented short keyword: '_'

Our directory structure is as follows.

.git/...
_code/rust/Cargo.toml
_code/rust/foo/Cargo.toml
_code/rust/foo/build.rs
_code/rust/foo/src/lib.rs

This error occurs when gitoxide is attempting to parse pathspecs of the form :/_code/rust and :!/_code/rust which are invalid.

The fix is to use the non-shorthand pathspec keywords e.g. :(top)_code/rust.

Thanks for posting and thanks so much for researching the fix!
I should have known that the shorthand notation is ambiguous and can't be used safely with an unknown path portion.
