Description of the problem / feature request:

glob throws an evaluation error when it detects an infinite recursion in a
directory traversal. However, it detects this recursion even if the specific
subpath leading to that recursion is excluded via the exclude=[] argument.

This means that recursive symlinks cannot be ignored in glob expressions,
even if they occur in subtrees that

There's a bunch of back-and-forth between domain.Offset and String in AcsTxStreams and [ContractsFetch](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/blob/9fd8182bbb6c7ee85b65a7edbeba68ca5ac9b901/ledger-service/http-json/src/main/scala/c

This might be faster:
git clone /path/to/base/head/startup-os

We could also probably do:
git clone file:///path/to/base/head/startup-os --depth=1

See if we can replace sanitize_string_for_usage with code from skylib (existing or to contribute back).
Motivation for generalization- Recurring pattern of sanitizing inputs

Since bazelbuild/rules_rust#612 we test more stuff on Windows, we don't test everything though. //test/rustfmt is currently disabled in .bazelci/presubmit.yml.

Feel free to comment on this issue if you want to know more or you want to give it a shot. We are happy to talk or help :)

How to fix when you don't have a Windows machine:

1. delete the line with ` - "-//t
