As discussed in the last Nix team meeting (2024-02-95), this method
doesn't belong because `CanonPath` is a virtual/ideal absolute path
format, not used in file systems beyond the native OS format for which a
"current working directory" is defined.
Progress towards #9205
Add several tests for git fetching:
- shallow-cache-separation: can fetch the same repo shallowly and non-shallowly
- shallow-ignore-ref: ensure that ref gets ignored when shallow=true is set
- ssh-shallow: can fetch a git repo via ssh using shallow=1
Also fingerprint and some preparatory improvements.
Testing is still not up to scratch because lots of logic is duplicated
between the workdir and commit cases.
Enabled for fetchGit, which historically had this behavior,
among other behaviors we do not want in fetchGit.
fetchTree disables this parameter by default. It can choose the
simpler behavior, as it is still experimental.
I am not confident that the filtering implementation is future
proof. It should reuse a source filtering wrapper, which I believe
Eelco has already written, but not merged yet.
This uses `git check-ignore` to determine if files are ignored before
attempting to add them in `putFile`.
We also add a condition to the `fetchFromWorkdir` filter to always add
the `flake.lock` file, even if it's not tracked. This is necessary to
resolve inputs.
This fixes#8854 without `git add --force`.
We occasionnally commit to git repositories (like with `nix flake update --commit-lock-file`).
This shells out to `git commit`, which might wait for user input (for a signing key passphrase for instance).
Disable the progress bar while this is running to make sure that the
user can enter it.
This avoids repeated copying of the same source tree between Nix
invocations. It requires the accessor to have a "fingerprint" (e.g. a
Git revision) that uniquely determines its contents.
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
This adds publicKeys as an optional fetcher input attribute to flakes
and builtins.fetchGit to provide a nix interface for the json-encoded
`publicKeys` attribute of the git fetcher.

This implements the git input attributes `verifyCommit`, `keytype`,
`publicKey` and `publicKeys` as experimental feature
`verified-fetches`. `publicKeys` should be a json string.
This representation was chosen because all attributes must be of type bool,
int or string so they can be included in flake uris (see definition of
fetchers::Attr).
Instead of making a complete copy of the repo, fetching the
submodules, and writing the result to the store (which is all
superexpensive), we now fetch the submodules recursively using the Git
fetcher, and return a union accessor that "mounts" the accessors for
the submodules on top of the root accessor.
We now have `schemeName` and `allowedAttrs` functions for this purpose.
We look up the schema with the former; we restrict the set of input
attributes with the latter.
Committing a lock file using markFileChanged() required the input to
be writable by the caller in the local filesystem (using the path
returned by getSourcePath()). putFile() abstracts over this.
Two changes:
* The (probably unintentional) hack to handle paths as tarballs has
been removed. This is almost certainly not what users expect and is
inconsistent with flakeref handling everywhere else.
* The hack to support scp-style Git URLs has been moved to the Git
fetcher, so it's now supported not just by fetchTree but by flake
inputs.
Special-casing the file name is rather ugly, so we shouldn't do
that. So now any {file,http,https} URL is handled by
TarballInputScheme, except for non-flake inputs (i.e. inputs that have
the attribute `flake = false`).
