Excerpts from Peter Simons's message of Thu Jul 21 01:14:23 +0200 2011: That's the code pkgs/build-support/fetchgit/nix-prefetch-git
Its doing this: git fetch --depth 1 origin +"$ref" || return 1 Didn't know that you can fetch hash's that way. You can git fetch --depth 100 then try 200 then 500 .. to find it as well. If Pierron's solution works its best. Marc Weber _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
