Trying to import kineto and getting this error when building it:

guix build: error: invalid character `~' in name
`go-git-sr-ht-~sircmpwn-kineto-0.0.0-20210225135222-edd4fe31f16f-checkout.drv'

I know the names are significant in go-build-system so I'm not sure how
to work around the issue without breaking anything.

Fair enough, that's a reasonable take.

I couldn't verify this as the importer delivered 410s, but the patch
LGTM, so I pushed it.

Thanks,
