7fa338f4ba * Don't use smart quotes where normal ASCII quotes are intended.
Actually, don't use quotes at all.  (Reported by Howard B. Golden.)

chapter on writing Nix expressions.

371c57d8a7 * Updated the quick start section. Use channels instead of
downloading Nix expressions and calling nix-pull.  This is so
  user-friendly that even a Mac user can do it! :-)

fdec72c6cc * `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, it
doesn't just print the set of paths that should be deleted.  So
  there is no more need to pipe the result into `nix-store --delete'
  (which doesn't even exist anymore).

92e832348d * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e.,
  `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended.
* nix-prefetch-url works again.

66e94d3275 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
default -> default-94-link
  default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
  ...
  default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
  experimental -> experimental-2-link
  experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...

* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
  $prefix/var/nix/links is gone.  Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
  ~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
  `.id'.
