| | * | fetchgit: Add rootDir argument•••With this argument fetchgit will make a subdirectory of the Git
repository a root of the resulting store path. This is helpful for
dealing with monorepos where many projects are in separate directories
and don't need a new source hash every time the monorepo is updated.
Commit hash is removed from the name of the derivation to prevent it
from changing the store path when nothing in the subdirectory changes.

| * | | tor: add tor.proxyHook•••tor.proxyHook is a setup hook intended for use with HTTP-based fetchers,
enabling them to download from .onion addresses using Tor as a proxy.

| * | pkgs/build-support/fetchgit: add fetchTags parameter•••Added fetchTags feature to fetchgit, explicit and clear support for
fetching all tags after the source tree fetch completes. Doing this at
build-time in the fetcher is required for packages that invoke commands
like 'git describe' which require tags, and since the nix store is
read-only by design, it is not possible to git fetch --tags at
activation- or run-time. This feature may have been possible by
specifying a postFetch option including calling git fetch --tags,
however doing so obfuscates the solution to this very real problem.
Explicit support for fetching tags should be a first class citizen just
like fetching other refs.

| * | fetchgit: add preFetch hook•••This allows running code to change the environment before the
nix-prefetch-git script is run. In particular, it allows setting things
like NIX_PREFETCH_GIT_CHECKOUT_HOOK, which allows additional code to be
run before deleting the .git directory.
This also means there's potentially value in performing a deep clone
then removing the .git directory, so remove the assertion that prevents
doing so.

| * | fetchgit{,hub}: add tag argument•••It's become a common pattern to use `rev = "refs/tags/${version}"` rather than
just `rev = version` to ensure that the tag gets fetched rather than a branch
that has the same name. This has so far been done using boilerplate though, so
let's add a simple abstraction to fetch a tag instead.

| * | doc: document commonly used fetchgit flags•••Some important ones like fetchLFS were missing. See
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-to-use-git-lfs-with-fetchgit/55975 for a
documented instance where this confused a user.
This still isn't complete but the remaining ones I felt were rather niche and I
am not familiar enough with them to sufficiently document their purpose or
usage.

| * | doc/fetchers: correct fetchtorrent sha256 attribute to hash•••This seems incorrect because sha256 is not an acceptable attribute of
fetchtorrent.

| * | doc: add stdenv passthru chapter (#315909)•••* doc: add stdenv passthru chapter
Broad strokes:
- create the chapter
- move existing stdenv passthru coverage into it
- move out-of-place coverage of passthru.tests from the stdenv meta chapter into it
- (try to) apply 1-sentence-per-line to text I've touched
- add legacy anchors for everything moved
- update existing links to the new anchors
- add tentative motivating text
- make nixpkgs-internal links relative/branchless
razor: if it is only ever needed by contributors, which is likely if links
refer to the latest revision of the source code, then it's for
the contributor guide

* Improve caveat explanation and some fetchurl content
* move out consumer docs on source fetching
* move note on mirror URLs to the relevant section
this may be better suited for the `fetchurl` reference, but it's probably better to
just render that information into the manual. for now, because
- contributor documentation encourages mirrors
- we can expect contributors to dig into the source
- linking source files is trivial in in-code documentation
we leave it there.
* move instructions for updating hashes to the manual
* Add more clarity on text, reorganise source hash methods
