git-credential-netrc: Can't locate Git.pm

A while back I added git-credential-netrc to Guix and it worked flawlessly.

Since my latest update a week ago, it fails with the following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Can't locate Git.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Git module) (@INC contains: ...) at /home/ambrevar/.guix-profile/bin/git-credential-netrc line 8.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Should the credential-netrc executable be wrapped to define PERL5LIB appropriately?
Seems legit, but then I don't understand why it used to work.

Any clue?

Perl 5.26 changed how it locates modules so that @INC no longer includes
the current working directory (the Perl community calls this "dotless
@INC"). Is it possible that change caused this to break?

Also, please send bug reports in the future, since they are less likely
to get lost :)

Absolutely!  I'll work on it, thanks for the tip!

I tend to avoid sending a bug report when I'm not sure it's an actual bug, but
in this case I should have, my apology! :)
