2021-09-30	`std::visit` by reference	John Ericson
	I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even improve performance.
2021-05-17	Enfore the use of properly built paths in libcmd	regnat
	Replace `DerivedPathWithHints` by a new `BuiltPath` type that serves as a proof that the corresponding path has been built.
2021-05-12	DerivedPathWithHints -> BuiltPath	regnat
	Just a renaming for now
2021-04-05	Make `DerivedPathWithHints` a newtype	John Ericson
	This allows us to namespace its constructors under it.
2021-04-05	Rename Buildable	John Ericson

2020-12-21	Add 'nix log' manpage	Eelco Dolstra

2020-10-06	Remove static variable name clashes	Eelco Dolstra
	This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't hurt...
2020-07-23	Make `Buildable` a `std::variant`	John Ericson
	I think this better captures the intent of what's going on: we either have an opaque store path, or a drv path with some outputs. Having this structure will also help us support CA derivations: we'll have to allow the outpath paths to be optional, so the structure we gain now makes up for the structure we loose then.

2019-12-10	Make the Store API more type-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
2019-12-05	Make subcommand construction in MultiCommand lazy	Eelco Dolstra
	(cherry picked from commit a0de58f471c9087d8e6cc60a6078f9940a125b15)
2018-01-12	nix log: use pager	Will Dietz

2017-09-07	nix log: Add examples	Eelco Dolstra

2017-09-06	nix build: Create result symlinks	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-29	nix edit / log: Operate on a single Installable	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-14	Avoid a call to derivationFromPath()	Eelco Dolstra
	This doesn't work in read-only mode, ensuring that operations like nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org -S nixpkgs.hello (asking for the closure size of nixpkgs.hello in cache.nixos.org) work when nixpkgs.hello doesn't exist in the local store.
2017-04-25	Move code around	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-25	Restructure installables handling in the "nix" command	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	Add a "nix log" command	Eelco Dolstra
	This replaces "nix-store --read-log". It checks the local store and any configured substituters for the requested logs.
