Add 'path' fetcher
This fetchers copies a plain directory (i.e. not a Git/Mercurial repository) to the store (or does nothing if the path is already a store path). One use case is to pin the 'nixpkgs' flake used to build the current NixOS system, and prevent it from being garbage-collected, via a system registry entry like this: { "from": { "id": "nixpkgs", "type": "indirect" }, "to": { "type": "path", "path": "/nix/store/rralhl3wj4rdwzjn16g7d93mibvlr521-source", "lastModified": 1585388205, "rev": "b0c285807d6a9f1b7562ec417c24fa1a30ecc31a" }, "exact": true } Note the fake "lastModified" and "rev" attributes that ensure that the flake gives the same evaluation results as the corresponding Git/GitHub inputs. (cherry picked from commit 12f9379123eba828f2ae06f7978a37b7045c2b23)
