This reverts commit 2624f9079617df6b1fffda8c10f6a7a35068ecdc, reversing changes made to 37aab4cbb5552bf021b20cf05d64e8ded6f3538a. See: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/42376#issuecomment-399789096 Basically this breaks at least some users of fetchgit, so let's revert this until this is sorted out.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
