Improve error message when a directory is not a flake
So you now get

  $ nix build
  error: path '.' is not a flake (because it does not reference a Git repository)

rather than

  $ nix build
  error: unsupported argument '.'

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
