Does the package need to be a git repository? about go2nix HOT 3 OPEN

It tries to find out what's the version of your package by looking for git history. So it should be git controlled at the moment.

Is this what causes Error while creating repo for /build/src/some.domain/go/some-project: Unable to retrieve local repo information?

Though I'm a bit confused by that message because I'm pretty sure my package is a git repo, but I'm still debugging.

Ok I'm trying to use go2nix save on a repository acquired via fetchgit and the .git looks kind of odd.

Edit: fetchgit results in some kind of strange .git. Also apparently there can be determinism issues if one keeps the .git, which makes sense because it could contain other branches and such. I solved the problem temporarily by just using normal git to get the repo I needed.
