File does not exist error improvement

[gytis-ivaskevicius]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When importing untracked nix file error such as is shown: error: path '/nix/store/xxx-source/something.nix' does not exist I noticed some newbies struggling with it and I think better error message should be shown

Describe the solution you'd like If it is a git repository it should show something like this:

• error: path '/nix/store/xxx-source/something.nix' exists but is not tracked by git (Might be annoying to implement)
• error: path '/nix/store/xxx-source/something.nix' does not exist or is not tracked by git

Describe alternatives you've considered None, this is more of a nice to have improvement to make onboarding process easier

Maybe it could be possible to retrieve the fullpath and stat the file (or maybe using libgit), to help distinguish the error into 2 separate ones. I think this would be very nice as nix beginners often get confused with this error

IIRC we have a solution that will land as we diligently port changes from lazy trees to master.
