Why does nimble lock require me to be in a version control system?

[iffy]

I'm bumping into this error

syncfile.nim(48)         getSyncFilePath

    Error:  Sync file require current working directory to be under some supported type of version control.
     Hint:  Put package's working directory under version control.

From here:

nimble/src/nimblepkg/syncfile.nim

Line 49 in be2f130

msg = "Sync file require current working directory to be under some " &

I'm not sure I understand why it's a requirement that nimble lock can only run when inside a version-controlled project. Would a PR to allow nimble lock to run outside a version-controlled project be accepted?

Certainly.
