And also render the docs nicely.
I would like to use a markdown AST for this, but to avoid new deps
(lowdown's AST doesn't suffice) I am just doing crude string
manipulations for now.
This was already dropped in `inputFromURL()`, but not in
`inputFromAttrs()`. Now it's done in `fixGitURL()`, which is used by
both.
In principle, `git+` shouldn't be used in the `url` attribute, since
we already know that it's a Git URL. But since it currently works, we
don't want to break it.
Fixes#14429.
See the new extensive doxygen in `url.hh`.
This fixes fetching gitlab: flakes.
Paths are now stored as a std::vector of individual path
segments, which can themselves contain path separators '/' (%2F).
This is necessary to make the Gitlab's /projects/ API work.

This allows us to replace some very hacky and not correct string
concatentation in `HttpBinaryCacheStore`. It will especially be useful
with #13752, when today's hacks started to cause problems in practice,
not just theory.
Also make `fixGitURL` returned a `ParsedURL`.
Period '.' is a special branch name in the gitsubmodule file which
represents the branch of the parent repository [1].
We add support for this by registering the ref of the InputAccessor to
be that of the parent input if '.' is encountered.
Fixes#13215
[1]: man gitmodules
Fixes usage of `#` symbol in the reference name.
This also seems to identify several deficiencies in the libgit2 refname
validation code wrt to DEL symbol and a singular `@` symbol [1].

* It is tough to contribute to a project that doesn't use a formatter,
* It is extra hard to contribute to a project which has configured the formatter, but ignores it for some files
* Code formatting makes it harder to hide obscure / weird bugs by accident or on purpose,
Let's rip the bandaid off?
Note that PRs currently in flight should be able to be merged relatively easily by applying `clang-format` to their tip prior to merge.
As it turns out the orignal implementation of symlink_exists cannot be
used in Nix because it did now std::filesystem::filesystem_error.
The new implementation fixes that but is now actually the same as
pathExists except for the path type.
For example, instead of doing
#include "nix/store-config.hh"
#include "nix/derived-path.hh"
Now do
#include "nix/store/config.hh"
#include "nix/store/derived-path.hh"
This was originally planned in the issue, and also recent requested by
Eelco.
Most of the change is purely mechanical. There is just one small
additional issue. See how, in the example above, we took this
opportunity to also turn `<comp>-config.hh` into `<comp>/config.hh`.
Well, there was already a `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`. Even though there
is not a public configuration header for libutil (which also would be
called `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`) that's still confusing, To avoid any
such confusion, we renamed that to `nix/util/configuration.{cc,hh}`.
Finally, note that the libflake headers already did this, so we didn't
need to do anything to them. We wouldn't want to mistakenly get
`nix/flake/flake/flake.hh`!
Progress on #7876
The short answer for why we need to do this is so we can consistently do
`#include "nix/..."`. Without this change, there are ways to still make
that work, but they are hacky, and they have downsides such as making it
harder to make sure headers from the wrong Nix library (e..g.
`libnixexpr` headers in `libnixutil`) aren't being used.
The C API alraedy used `nix_api_*`, so its headers are *not* put in
subdirectories accordingly.
Progress on #7876
We resisted doing this for a while because it would be annoying to not
have the header source file pairs close by / easy to change file
path/name from one to the other. But I am ameliorating that with
symlinks in the next commit.
If we previously fetched by revision, the output of "git ls-remote"
won't start with the expected line like
ref: refs/heads/master HEAD
but will be something like
5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30 refs/heads/5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30
This then causes Nix to treat that revision as a refname, which then
leads to warnings like
warning: could not update cached head '5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30' for 'file:///tmp/repo'
This causes Git to create a local ref named refs/head/<rev>, e.g.
$ git -C ~/.cache/nix/gitv3/11irpim06vj4h6c0w8yls6kx4hvl0qd0gr1fvk47n76g6wf1s1vk ls-remote --symref .
5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30 refs/heads/5c4410e3b9891c05ab40d723de78c6f0be45ad30
7f6bde8a20de4cccc2256f088bc5af9dbe38881d refs/heads/7f6bde8a20de4cccc2256f088bc5af9dbe38881d
which confuses readHead(), leading to errors like
fatal: Refusing to point HEAD outside of refs/
warning: could not update cached head 'd275d93aa0bb8a004939b2f1e87f559f989453be' for 'file:///tmp/repo'
Git interprets them as part of the file name, so passing parameters
like 'rev' breaks. Only relevant for testing (when _NIX_FORCE_HTTP is
set) and local bare repos.
Fixes messages like 'copying /tmp/repo/tmp/repo to the store'. The
PosixSourceAccessor already sets the prefix. Setting the prefix twice
shouldn't be a problem, but GitRepoImpl::getAccessor() returns a
wrapped accessor so it's not actually idempotent.
