d8bf0d4859 Support Git repos in the Nix path
E.g.

  $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs '<nixpkgs>' -A hello

This is not extremely useful yet because you can't specify a
branch/revision.

38539b943a Add fetchgit builtin
The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation
time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be
changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function,
with works at build time.)

Example:

  (import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello

or

  (import (builtins.fetchgit {
    url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels;
    rev = "nixos-16.03";
  }) {}).hello

Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.
