builtins.fetchgit: Support specifying commit hashes
This adds an argument "rev" specififying the Git commit hash. The
existing argument "rev" is renamed to "ref". The default value for
"ref" is "master". When specifying a hash, it's necessary to specify a
ref since we're not cloning the entire repository but only fetching a
specific ref.

Example usage:

  builtins.fetchgit {
    url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git;
    ref = "release-16.03";
    rev = "c1c0484041ab6f9c6858c8ade80a8477c9ae4442";
  };

builtins.fetchgit: Respect tarball-ttl
I.e. if the local ref is more recent than tarball-ttl seconds, then
don't check the remote.

builtins.fetchgit: Cache hash -> store path mappings
This prevents an expensive call to addToStore() in the cached case.

Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"
This reverts commit f78126bfd6. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

Eelco Dolstra d8bf0d4859 Support Git repos in the Nix path
E.g.

  $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs '<nixpkgs>' -A hello

This is not extremely useful yet because you can't specify a
branch/revision.

Eelco Dolstra 38539b943a Add fetchgit builtin
The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation
time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be
changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function,
with works at build time.)

Example:

  (import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello

or

  (import (builtins.fetchgit {
    url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels;
    rev = "nixos-16.03";
  }) {}).hello

Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.
