We cannot use 'actualUrl', because for file:// repos that's not the original URL that the repo was fetched from. This is a problem since submodules may be relative to the original URL. Fixes e.g. nix eval --impure --json --expr 'builtins.fetchTree { type = "git"; url = "/path/to/blender"; submodules = true; }' where /path/to/blender is a clone of https://github.com/blender/blender.git (which has several relative submodules like '../blender-addons.git'). |
