2024-06-29Reject fully-qualified URLs in 'from' argument of `nix registry add`Delan Azabani
We previously allowed you to map any flake URL to any other flake URL, including shorthand flakerefs, indirect flake URLs like `flake:nixpkgs`, direct flake URLs like `github:NixOS/nixpkgs`, or local paths. But flake registry entries mapping from direct flake URLs often come from swapping the 'from' and 'to' arguments by accident, and even when created intentionally, they may not actually work correctly. This patch rejects those URLs (and fully-qualified flake: URLs), making it harder to swap the arguments by accident. Fixes #181. Change-Id: I24713643a534166c052719b8770a4edfcfdb8cf3

This also documents the registry format and matching/unification semantics (though not quite correctly).
