Describe the bug

This has been an elusive bug which I have only managed to reproduce twice now, several weeks apart. It may require some hammering to resolve.

Cloning a repository with a flake.nix file in it and then attempting to run nix flake show fails with the following logs. I believe this happened previously with a flake.nix file at the repository root, but I now see it occur with a flake in a subdirectory.

       error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Clone git.auxolotl.org/auxolotl/labs via SSH: git clone forgejo@git.auxolotl.org:auxolotl/labs.git
  2. Enter the repository's tidepool subdirectory: cd labs/tidepool
  3. Run nix flake show
  4. The error from the logs above should display

Expected behavior

Flakes in Git repositories should not fail when used.

nix --version output

nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-rc1

Additional context

I had originally attempted to report this some weeks ago, but after performing a git operation in the repository the error went away. Even with a fresh clone I was then unable to reproduce the error. There may be some odd caching behavior or similar which avoids the error.

At the time of submitting this, the commit which is cloned from auxolotl/labs is cadfaabc853d20f2bc20bad794fcbe520ea48f13 and the output of git log displays the following which I believe should be fine.

After trying several different git operations and running nix flake show it appears that the log was onto something mentioning a master branch. It appears that creating this branch resolves the issue, allowing me to perform flake operations. Perhaps master is hard-coded somewhere? This repository's default branch is named main and does not otherwise have a branch named master.

Just in case I have updated my nixpkgs version which gives me Lix at version 2.90.0 and the issue persists.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Clone git.auxolotl.org/auxolotl/labs via SSH: git clone forgejo@git.auxolotl.org:auxolotl/labs.git

Minor note: clone does not need to be over SSH; we just reproduced with an HTTPS clone (thank gods; if this were somehow specific to the clone type I think we'd combust).

you've hit upon something we've seen a while ago in similar circumstances, that is once more indicative of the massive design issues of flakes and how stupidly rushed and incomplete a system they are.

  • . and .. in schemed urls are not special and passed through to the scheme handler, which then usually fucks it up
  • the . flakeref is not a relative path
  • . refers to the repo root, not the directory of the current flake file. usually.
  • . can't be used to reimport bits of the current flake
  • but path:. can
  • . in path schemes is a relative path and does mean "directory of the current flake.nix"!

in conclusion,

After trying several different git operations and running nix flake show it appears that the log was onto something mentioning a master branch. It appears that creating this branch resolves the issue, allowing me to perform flake operations. Perhaps master is hard-coded somewhere? This repository's default branch is named main and does not otherwise have a branch named master.

oh and to answer to this bit specifically too: yes, not specifying a ref/rev defaults to master because of course it does. adding &ref=main to your git urls also resolves the issue. we're not entirely sure whether this is actually safe or whether that can actually poison the fetcher cache.
