Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names . and .. are disallowed, as well as those starting with .- or ..-.
Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented in the issue.
