Prior, tests would all fail to build, causing, roughly, the following
error (roughly, because I added some debug log messages :)):

This is caused by the autoconf check for `nix-store` which is equivalent
to running this:
```
$ nix-store --timeout 123 -q
```
This would open the pager on a 2.1.1 version of nix.
```
$ nix-store --version
nix-store (Nix) 2.1.1
```
Setting `PAGER` to `cat` ensures the pager doesn't block the
configurePhase.
```
$ PAGER=cat nix-store --timeout 123 -q
```
In order to access protected or private repositories. Using the target
repository URL along with the merge-request ref instead of the source
repository url and branch is necessary to avoid running into issues if
the source repository is not actually accessible to the user Hydra is
authenticating as.
Thanks Alexei Robyn for this patch.
When I press "n builds omitted" I get back to the first tab of a jobset.
This is extremely counter-intuitive, instead this notice should link to
the currently opened tab.
The job has been failing since https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1461286
with the following error:
hydra-eval-jobs.cc:278:17: error: 'evalSettings' was not declared in this scope
evalSettings.restrictEval = true;
^~~~~~~~~~~~
This is likely due to a typo in 0882519 where that line and the
corresponding comment were moved, and `settings` was changed in that
one place to `evalSettings`.
I reproduced the error by running `nix-build release.nix -A
build.x86_64-linux` on my machine, and this small change fixes it.
You can now set 'evaluator_max_heap_size' to make hydra-eval-jobs
restart itself if the Boehm heap exceeds the specified size.
For example, with 'evaluator_max_heap_size = 256000000',
$ hydra-eval-jobs '<nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/release.nix>' -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-17.09
has a max RSS of .56 GiB rather than 4.7 GiB.
Unfortunately it doesn't help much for the NixOS jobsets because of
the "tested" job which requires a huge amount of memory all by itself.
