Also related to NixOS/nixops#350, because while switching to the new configuration, depending on /nix/store also propagates to the mount points for /nix/.ro-store and /nix/.rw-store and we don't get an error while trying to unmount them (because nix-daemon needs to be stopped for unmounting these paths). While Nix does have the option to set a different store path, I've found only hardcoded references in nix-daemon.nix, so I'm using a hardcoded reference here as well, because after all customizing the store path will probably only make sense on non-NixOS systems.

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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
