There is now a separation of:
1. A `FileSystemObjectSink` for writing to git repos
2. Adapting libarchive to use that parse sink.
The prepares a proper separation of concerns.
No outward facing behavior is changed.
Older methods with same names that operate on on method + algo pair (for
old-style `<method>:algo`) are renamed to `*WithAlgo`.)
The functions are unit-tested in the same way the names for the hash
algorithms are tested.
* reword description of the `cores` setting
- be precise about the `builder` executable
- clearly distinguish between `builder` and job parallelism
- clarify the role of `mkDerivation` in the example
- remove prose for the default, it's shown programmatically
- mention relation to `max-jobs`
- move all reference documentation to the `builders` configuration setting
- reword documentation on machine specification, add examples
- disable showing the default value, as it rendered as `@/dummy/machines`, which is wrong
- highlight the examples
- link to the configuration docs for distributed builds
- builder -> build machine

the interesting information is on the proper pages, and is now presented
a bit more prominently.
the paragraph was a bit confusing to read, also because an anchor link
to an inline definition was in the middle of the sentence. "local store"
now has its own glossary entry.
The symbolic form in use here doesn't seem to have an effect
in either the BSD or coreutils install commands, leaving the
daemon plist with empty permissions. This seems to cause its
own problems.
I think I've got the right symbolic syntax now :)
There's probably more that can be said, but I thought it might be helpful to put something here about how to access elements of a list for folks coming from more or less any other programming language. If this is rarely used, it might be nice to add to the documentation something about why it's rarely used.
Commit d536c57e87 inadvertedly broke build and
installation of all non-autogenerated manual pages (in particular, all the ones
documenting the stable CLI), by moving the definition of the man-pages variable
in doc/manual/local.mk after its usage in mk/lib.mk. Move including the former
earlier so that the correct order is restored.
