I know what the current implementation requires. Just wondering whether this should be relaxed for git (like) VCS sources, because they naturally have a hash.
I mean why run nix-prefetch git if using url and git commit hash could be enough? If you don't trust builders, fetching git sources is that common that it could even be built into the nix tool. My goal is to simplify installing packages from other sub universes such as ruby.
