Hi,

so far "svn-revision" was giving the nixos and nixpkgs SHA forming the
channel. With the latest update, this file is empty:

% cat 
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels-22-link/nixos/nixos/svn-revision 
4042_e201da3-ff461b0

% cat 
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels-23-link/nixos/nixos/svn-revision 


I'm using the file to maintain branches "channel-nixos" of nixos and
nixpkgs, so I can develop new features based on a supposedly more stable
base.

Now as the channel only consists of nix expressions, no Manifest files
anymore, wouldn't it be sane to maintain it as a repository?

One repo with nixos and nixpkgs as submodules?
Or probably better: nixpkgs as submodule of nixos?

regards
florian
