Please keep in mind that /afs/.git might be a cell whose alias is "git" 
or that "git" is to be combined with a domain in the DNS search list.

I seem to remember seeing many paths of the form /afs/cs/ or /afs/ece/ 
where the full cell names were cs.cmu.edu or ece.cmu.edu.

A question for the original poster is "what are the DNS queries that are 
being issued to the DNS resolver at 127.0.0.53?
