The repository rule `new_git_repository` has been an alias of `git_repository` since Bazel 6.0.0: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/6.0.0/tools/build_defs/repo/git.bzl#L190 Recently, a change was made to make use of `new_git_repository` fail - bazelbuild/bazel@71160cb Users should use `git_repository` instead, which this change does. The change should be a no-op for Bazel >= 6.0.0
