Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for
hash commands.
The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are
left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).
Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to
use them.
Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a
store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet
exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off
merging this now as is.

Return a value instead of throwing.
Rather than the more trivial refactor of wrapping the return value in
another std::optional, we retain the meaning of the outer optional:
"we know at least something."
So we have changed:
return nullopt -> return nullopt
throw InvalidPath -> return make_optional(nullptr)
return vpi -> return make_optional(vpi)
Add several tests for git fetching:
- shallow-cache-separation: can fetch the same repo shallowly and non-shallowly
- shallow-ignore-ref: ensure that ref gets ignored when shallow=true is set
- ssh-shallow: can fetch a git repo via ssh using shallow=1
libgit2 is not capable of using git-credentials helpers yet.
This prevents private repositories from being used.

In rare cases (e.g. when using allowSubstitutes = false), it's
possible that we simultaneously have a DerivationGoal *and* a
SubstitutionGoal building the same path. So if a DerivationGoal
already built the path while the SubstitutionGoal was waiting for a
download slot, it saves us a superfluous download to exit early.
In the "discard" case (i.e. when the store path already exists
locally), when we call parseDump() from a Finally and it throws an
exception (e.g. if the download of the NAR fails), Nix crashes:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nix::SubstituteGone'
what(): error: file 'nar/06br3254rx4gz4cvjzxlv028jrx80zg5i4jr62vjmn416dqihgr7.nar.xz' does not exist in binary cache 'http://localhost'
Aborted (core dumped)
Instead of having it be the default method in `Store` itself, have it be
the implementation in `DummyStore` and `LegacySSHStore`. Then just the
implementations which fail to provide the method pay the "penalty" of
dealing with the icky `unimplemented` function for non-compliance.
Picks up where #8217. Getting close to no `unsupported` in the `Store`
interface itself!
More progress on issue #5729.
It is good to propagate the underlying error so whether or not we use a
process to deal with path length issues is not observable.
Also, as these wrapper functions got more and more complex, the code
duplication got worse and worse. The new `bindConnectProcHelper`
function deduplicates them.
This is useful for determining quickly which substituters to query.
An alternative would be for users to invoke the narinfo cache db directly,
so why do we need this change?
- It is easier to use. I believe Nix itself should also use it.
- This way, the narinfo cache db remains an implementation detail.
- Callers get to use the in-memory cache as well.
This does not yet resolve the coupling between packages and
derivations, but it makes the code more consistent with the
terminology, and it accentuates places where the coupling is
obvious, such as
auto drvPath = packageInfo.queryDrvPath();
if (!drvPath)
throw Error("'%s' is not a derivation", what());
... which isn't wrong, and in my opinion, doesn't even look
wrong, because it just reflects the current logic.
However, I do like that we can now start to see in the code that
this coupling is perhaps a bit arbitrary.
After this rename, we can bring the DerivingPath concept into type
and start to lift this limitation.
The data was (accidentally?) copied into a std::string,
even though the string is immediately converted into a std::string_view.
The code has been changed to construct a std::string_view directly,
such that one copy less happens.
`FLOAT`, `INT`, and `IN` are identifers taken by macros.
The name `IN_KW` is chosen to match `OR_KW`, which is presumably named
that way for the same reason of dodging macros.
