2020-06-12	Add newHashAllowEmpty helper function	Matthew Bauer
	This replaces the copy&paste with a helper function in hash.hh.
2020-06-09	Support empty hash in fetchers	Matthew Bauer
	fetchTarball, fetchTree, and fetchGit all have optional hash attrs. This means that we need to be careful with what we allow to avoid accidentally making these defaults. When ‘hash = ""’ we assume the empty hash is wanted.
2020-06-02	Merge pull request #3639 from obsidiansystems/do-fixme-store-removes	Eelco Dolstra
	Remove `addToStore` variant as requested by `FIXME`
2020-05-30	Ensure we restrict refspec interpretation while fetching	Nikola Knezevic
	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`.
2020-05-30	Improve ref validity checking in fetchGit	Nikola Knezevic
	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`.
2020-05-29	Remove addToStore variant as requested by `FIXME`	John Ericson
	The idea is it's always more flexible to consumer a `Source` than a plain string, and it might even reduce memory consumption. I also looked at `addToStoreFromDump` with its `// FIXME: remove?`, but the worked needed for that is far more up for interpretation, so I punted for now.

2020-04-07	Respect the narHash attribute in more input types	Eelco Dolstra
	(cherry picked from commit a6ff66b658b61aef80d936f0183447fe4cb46000)
2020-04-07	Add 'path' fetcher	Eelco Dolstra
	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)
2020-04-07	Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch	Eelco Dolstra
	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 (c169ea59049f861aaba429f48b828d0820b74d1d).
