I've talked to git (irc) long time ago, they are pretty sure that the "git"
hash would serve well as alternative to a sha256 or md5 hash.
Thus adding an implementation for
mkDerivation {
git_hash = "...."; # instead of fixed output hash
}
and have the nix implementation check for $out/.git and, git status
returning nothing and HEAD being the desired hash would be much easier
to use.
Most Vim plugins also are stored on github.
