Problem description (include actual vs expected text, if applicable):
I ran into an error like this when trying to enable bzlmod in our repository (with Bazel 7.2.1):
Error in use_repo: invalid user-provided repo name '2022-05-11_log': valid names may contain only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '-', '_', '.', and must start with a letter
Interestingly enough, this repository name was just fine without bzlmod enabled. Where are the restrictions on user-provided repo names documented on bazel.build? I saw nothing relevant on https://bazel.build/rules/lib/globals/module#use_repo
Where do you see this issue? (include link to specific section of the page, if applicable)
One place where it appears to be missing is https://bazel.build/rules/lib/globals/module#use_repo but I suspect it should be mentioned more centrally as well, as it is intended to apply to all repository names.
Any other information you'd like to share?
