bug#60494: git-reference does not support file:// uri scheme

Hi!

That itself is not a bug: git-fetch is the wrong tool for this job.  It should 
not have access to your files.

You can clone a local repository by directly calling git-checkout and passing 
it as the package source:

  (source
    (git-checkout (url "/home/mirai/foo")))

No need for a hash, either!  \o/





Kind regards,
