- To fetch the content of a checked-out work directory:
```nix
builtins.fetchGit ./work-dir
```
If the URL points to a local directory, and no `ref` or `rev` is
given, `fetchGit` will use the current content of the checked-out
files, even if they are not committed or added to Git's index. It will
only consider files added to the Git repository, as listed by `git ls-files`.
