     `gitTrackedWith` does not perform any filtering when the path is a [Nix store path](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/store/store-path.html#store-path) and not a repository.
     In this way, it accommodates the use case where the expression that makes the `gitTracked` call does not reside in an actual git repository anymore,
     and has presumably already been fetched in a way that excludes untracked files.
