Motivation for this change
Before c9214c3 and 9d396d2 if .git is symlink the version would gracefully default to no git revision. With those changes, an exception is thrown instead.
This introduces a new function
pathIsGitRepo
that checks ifcommitIdFromGitRepo
fails without error so we don't have to reimplement this logic again and can fail gracefully.Things done
nix path-info -S
