It would error when a config file was missing. This patch comes from
github and can be removed once 4b944ac339312b642c6dc5d6b5a2f7be7503218f
is included in a release.
Some of these fonts are still available but their url has moved and
their hash has been changed. If anyone still uses them, feel free to add

Addresses #17218 in a better way in that it doesn't create a
".git-revision" file on every nixos-rebuild, because we already have
".git" available. Even if we don't nixos-rebuild can't create the
"git-revision" file.
Tested via:
nix-build -E '(import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix {
name = "foo";
machine = {};
testScript = "startAll; $machine->execute(\"nixos-version >&2\");";
})'
Closes: #17610

Let's first try if we can determine the Git revision from the .git
directory and if that fails, fall back to get the info from the
".git-revision" file... and after that use something generic like
"master".
This should address #17218 in better way, because we don't need to
create another redundant file in the source checkout of nixpkgs.
I'm not going to route of falling back to using .git, because after
55d881e, we already have ".git-revision" files in people's Git
repositories, which in turn means that nixos-version will report that
old file every time even if the working tree has updated.

Fixes: #17218
This reverts commit 1e534e234b.
We already should have a .git directory if it is managed via Git,
otherwise there is no way to get the Git revision if neither
.git-revision or .git is present.
But having .git-revision _and_ .git present seems very much redundant to
me.

Issue: #17218
We currently already replace the embedded bsdtar binaries with the
corresponding ones from Nix. However, we also need to replace the
libarchive shared library to prevent version mismatches between the
embedded library and the Nix binaries.
Also expose version on the derivation and use environment variables
to make overriding the derivation easier.
The builder has this convoluted `while` loop which just replicates
`readlink -e`. I'm sure there was a reason at one point, because the
loop has been there since time immemorial. It kept getting copied
around, I suspect because nobody bothered to understand what it actually
did.
Incidentally, this fixes#17513, but I have no idea why.
