I’m thinking of changing ‘nix-prefect-git’ like this:
diff --git a/pkgs/build-support/fetchgit/nix-prefetch-git b/pkgs/build-support/fetchgit/nix-prefetch-git
index 63d756c..8ba7fb7 100755
--- a/pkgs/build-support/fetchgit/nix-prefetch-git
+++ b/pkgs/build-support/fetchgit/nix-prefetch-git
@@ -120,6 +120,11 @@ clone(){
# Checkout linked sources.
init_submodules;
+ if [ -f .topdeps ]; then
+ # Populate the TopGit branches.
+ tg remote --populate origin
+ fi
+
cd $top;
}
What do you think?
TopGit would have to be installed on Hydra.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
