Nikola Knezevic fb38459d6e Ensure we restrict refspec interpretation while fetching
As `git fetch` may chose to interpret refspec to it's liking, ensure that we
only pass refs that begin with `refs/` as is, otherwise, prepend them with
`refs/heads`. Otherwise, branches named `heads/foo` (I know it's bad, but it's
allowed), would be fetched as `foo`, instead of `heads/foo`.

Nikola Knezevic 77007d4eab Improve ref validity checking in fetchGit
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It
could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they
exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are
pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches).

The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the
definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help
check-ref-format` pages.

This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which
compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.

Eelco Dolstra 670feb000a Add 'path' fetcher
This fetchers copies a plain directory (i.e. not a Git/Mercurial
repository) to the store (or does nothing if the path is already a
store path).

One use case is to pin the 'nixpkgs' flake used to build the current
NixOS system, and prevent it from being garbage-collected, via a
system registry entry like this:

  {
      "from": {
          "id": "nixpkgs",
          "type": "indirect"
      },
      "to": {
          "type": "path",
          "path": "/nix/store/rralhl3wj4rdwzjn16g7d93mibvlr521-source",
          "lastModified": 1585388205,
          "rev": "b0c285807d6a9f1b7562ec417c24fa1a30ecc31a"
      },
      "exact": true
  }

Note the fake "lastModified" and "rev" attributes that ensure that the
flake gives the same evaluation results as the corresponding
Git/GitHub inputs.

Eelco Dolstra 462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.

  fetchTree {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
    ref = "some-branch";
    rev = "abcdef...";
  }

The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.

All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).

This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
