The filter expects all paths to have a prefix of the raw `actualUrl`, but
`Store::addToStore(...)` provides absolute canonicalized paths.
To fix this create an absolute and canonicalized path from the `actualUrl` and
use it instead.
Fixes#6195.
Starting work on #5638
The exact boundary between `FetchSettings` and `EvalSettings` is not
clear to me, but that's fine. First lets clean out `libstore`, and then
worry about what, if anything, should be the separation between those
two.
diff-index operates on the view that git has of the working tree,
which might be outdated. The higher-level diff command does this
automatically. This change also adds handling for submodules.
fixes#4140
Alternative fixes would be invoking update-index before diff-index or
matching more closely what require_clean_work_tree from git-sh-setup.sh
does, but both those options make it more difficult to reason about
correctness.
The .git/refs/heads directory might be empty for a valid
usable git repository. This often happens in CI environments,
which might only fetch commits, not branches.
Therefore instead we let git itself check if HEAD points to
something that looks like a commit.
fixes#5302
This fixes builtins.fetchGit { url = ...; ref = "HEAD"; }, that works in
stable nix (v2.3.10), but is broken in nix master:
$ ./result/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix version 2.4pre19700101_dd77f71. Type :? for help.
nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix"; ref = "HEAD"; }
fetching Git repository 'https://github.com/NixOS/nix'fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/HEAD
error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128
The documentation for builtins.fetchGit says ref = "HEAD" is the
default, so it should also be supported to explicitly pass it.
I came across this issue because poetry2nix can use ref = "HEAD" in some
situations.
Fixes#4674.
Local git repositories are normally used directly instead of
cloning. This commit checks if a repo is bare and forces a
clone.

Sometimes it's necessary to fetch a git repository at a revision and
it's unknown which ref contains the revision in question. An example
would be a Cargo.lock which only provides the URL and the revision when
using a git repository as build input.
However it's considered a bad practice to perform a full checkout of a
repository since this may take a lot of time and can eat up a lot of
disk space. This patch makes a full checkout explicit by adding an
`allRefs` argument to `builtins.fetchGit` which fetches all refs if
explicitly set to true.
Closes#2409
A common pitfall when using e.g. `builtins.fetchGit` is the `fatal: not
a tree object`-error when trying to fetch a revision of a git-repository
that isn't on the `master` branch and no `ref` is specified.
In order to make clear what's the problem, I added a simple check
whether the revision in question exists and if it doesn't a more
meaningful error-message is displayed:
```
nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/owner/myrepo"; rev = "<commit not on master>"; }
moderror: --- Error -------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
Cannot find Git revision 'bf1cc5c648e6aed7360448a3745bb2fe4fbbf0e9' in ref 'master' of repository 'https://gitlab.com/Ma27/nvim.nix'! Please make sure that the rev exists on the ref you've specified or add allRefs = true; to fetchGit.
```
Closes#2431

When the log.showSignature git setting is enabled, the output of
"git log" contains signature verification information in addition to the
timestamp GitInputScheme::fetch wants:
$ git log -1 --format=%ct
gpg: Signature made Sat 07 Sep 2019 02:02:03 PM PDT
gpg: using RSA key 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567
gpg: issuer "user@example.com"
gpg: Good signature from "User <user@example.com>" [ultimate] 1567890123
1567890123
For folks that had log.showSignature set, this caused all nix operations
on flakes to fail:
$ nix build
error: stoull
As `git fetch` may chose to interpret refspec to it's liking, ensure that we
only pass refs that begin with `refs/` as is, otherwise, prepend them with
`refs/heads`. Otherwise, branches named `heads/foo` (I know it's bad, but it's
allowed), would be fetched as `foo`, instead of `heads/foo`.
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It
could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they
exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are
pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches).
The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the
definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help
check-ref-format` pages.
This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which
compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.
The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount,
lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary
what attributes are stored where.
As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like
"info": {
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github"
},
is now stored as
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github",
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher
implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the
API.
Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy
flake fetching started using fetchTree internally.
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
