Is there any specific reason for using a Git snapshot?
Packages in Nixpkgs should use a published tarball, so users know what
version of the package they use, which allows them to provide useful bug
reports upstream, etc.
If you really need the latest & greatest, what about adding a
‘notmuchUnstable’ (or similar) derivation alongside the latest stable
release?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
