This function allows you to copy sources into the Nix store while filtering certain files. For instance, suppose that you want to use the directory `source-dir` as an input to a Nix expression, e.g. ```nix stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = ./source-dir; } ``` However, if `source-dir` is a Subversion working copy, then all those annoying `.svn` subdirectories will also be copied to the store. Worse, the contents of those directories may change a lot, causing lots of spurious rebuilds. With `filterSource` you can filter out the `.svn` directories: ```nix src = builtins.filterSource (path: type: type != "directory" || baseNameOf path != ".svn") ./source-dir; ``` Thus, the first argument *e1* must be a predicate function that is called for each regular file, directory or symlink in the source tree *e2*. If the function returns `true`, the file is copied to the Nix store, otherwise it is omitted. The function is called with two arguments. The first is the full path of the file. The second is a string that identifies the type of the file, which is either `"regular"`, `"directory"`, `"symlink"` or `"unknown"` (for other kinds of files such as device nodes or fifos — but note that those cannot be copied to the Nix store, so if the predicate returns `true` for them, the copy will fail).
