Eelco Dolstra	65b5f177b5	builtins.fetchgit: Support a "name" attribute ... The "name" attribute defaults to "source", which we should use for all similar functions (e.g. fetchTarball and in Hydra) to ensure that we get a consistent store path regardless of how the tree is fetched. "source" is not necessarily a correct label, but using an empty name is problematic: you get an ugly store path ending in a dash, and it's impossible to have a fixed-output derivation that produces that path because ".drv" is not a valid store name. Fixes #904.	2017-10-30 10:22:07 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	7480f4f9a4	builtins.fetchgit: Support specifying commit hashes ... This adds an argument "rev" specififying the Git commit hash. The existing argument "rev" is renamed to "ref". The default value for "ref" is "master". When specifying a hash, it's necessary to specify a ref since we're not cloning the entire repository but only fetching a specific ref. Example usage: builtins.fetchgit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-16.03"; rev = "c1c0484041ab6f9c6858c8ade80a8477c9ae4442"; };	2017-07-27 18:08:23 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra	d8bf0d4859	Support Git repos in the Nix path ... E.g. $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs '<nixpkgs>' -A hello This is not extremely useful yet because you can't specify a branch/revision.	2016-04-29 21:07:47 +02:00
