Hello Guix,

home-files-service-type is placing configuration files in `~/config/foo` instead of `~/.config/foo`.

For example, the following guix-home service should place the git configuration in ~/.config/git`. But it creates a new directory `~/config/git` and places the file there.

    (simple-service 'git-config
                    home-files-service-type
                    (list
                     `("config/git/config"
                       ,(local-file
                         (string-append (getenv "HOME")
                                        "/dotfiles/git/config")))))

It started happening recently, so will try to bisect.

Regards,
RG.

It's not a bug, use ‘`(".config/git/config" ,(local-file ...))’.

I'll close the issue if you don't mind.
