ab5c6bb3a3 * Change referer' to referrer' throughout. In particular, the
nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have
  been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old
  ones are still accepted for compatibility).

88dea78cdf * Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, since
they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences
  (e.g., on Subversion).

2cd590d96c * Instead of — use the actual Unicode character. By the way, to
edit the manual, you should have something like

    (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.xml\\>" 'utf-8)

  in your ~/.emacs.

eb233e728f * `--min-age' flag in nix-store and nix-collect-garbage to only delete
unreachable paths that haven't been used for N hours.  For instance,
  `nix-collect-garbage --min-age 168' only deletes paths that haven't
  been accessed in the last week.

  This is useful for instance in the build farm where many derivations
  can be shared between consecutive builds, and we wouldn't want a
  garbage collect to throw them all away.  We could of course register
  them as roots, but then we'd to unregister them at some point, which
  would be a pain to manage.  The `--min-age' flag gives us a sort of
  MRU caching scheme.

  BUG: this really shouldn't be in gc.cc since that violates
  mechanism/policy separation.

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).
