Currently we wrap ssh so it can find the config file passed in by
<ssh-config-file>. If one however uses ProxyCommand ssh, then ssh that
is on PATH is taken (which is also unavailable when using nix-shell
--pure), which is the plain ${openssh}/bin/ssh.
This commit makes sure our wrapped ssh is available on PATH.
They're additional commits from #26877.
Changing names of the fetched stuff was changing very many hashes,
and I think it's better to avoid that for the moment to reduce work
needed by nixpkgs users. The fetchers are expected to be commonly
used even outside nixpkgs, and the current naming wasn't that bad
usually.
(commit analogical to d10c3cc5eedf58e80e2; I haven't noticed the part of
the PR has already got to master)
Deprecation warnings should not be used in Nixpkgs because they spam
innocent "nix-env -qa" users with (in this case) dozens of messages
that they can't do anything about.
This also reverts commit 2ca8833383.
This commit extends fetchFromGitHub with ability to fetch GitHub
repositories with submodules, so we can use the function consistently
with all GitHub repositories.
Note it doesn't change the previous behavior.
This fixes a regression caused by commit f56ab9e
("nix-prefetch-git: Include the date in the machine-readable [...]")
where a couple of directory paths printed by pushd/popd appeared before
the JSON output on stdout (thus breaking it). Fix it by redirecting the
extraneous output to /dev/null.

stdout, in strict ISO 8601 format.
This will be helpful for automatically updating fetchgit expressions
and the dates in version numbers associated with them.
Source of this change goes back to 2009 and original version of
fetchgit at 205fb0c87e.
The nondeterminism is really caused by changing .git so leave other
files alone as they might be interesting.
Note: this causes a hash mismatch with Hydra's version of Git Plugin
which we should fix to comply.
Previously, nix-prefetch-git would report the same JSON whether submodules were being fetched or not; with this change, the --fetch-submodules option will cause the JSON output to include "fetchSubmodules": true, so that fetchgit (builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile ./path/to/output.json)) will work.
This commit fixes#6651.
Before this change the `nix-prefetch-git` script would use a different store
name than nix's `fetchgit` function. Because of that it was not possible to
use `nix-prefetch-git` as a way to pre-populate the store (for example when
the user it using private git dependencies that needs access to the ssh agent)
The comment related to the `deepClone` and `no-deepClone` options was
misleading as these options have no relation with submodules, but on the
the depth in `git clone --depth n`.
These environment variables allow using fetchgit with git:// URLs using
the SOCKS proxy technique described in 'Using Git with a SOCKS proxy':
http://www.patthoyts.tk/blog/using-git-with-socks-proxy.html
Briefly, GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is set to a script which invokes connect[1],
which reads SOCKS_PROXY, which might be pointing to a local instance of
'ssh -D'.

If "fetcher" is a string, then Nix will execute it with bash already, so
the additional bash argument in that string was redundant and apparently
causes trouble on non-Linux platforms.
Hopefully fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/11496.
Close#9790.
This fixes checkouting for a nasty combination:
1. To be checkouted is a revision which corresponds to tag in a form "<tag>^{}".
2. This revision is not fetched by default.
This is useful when `leaveDotGit = true` and some other derivation
expects some branch name to exist.
Previously, `nix-prefetch-git` always created a branch with a
hard-coded name (`fetchgit`).
