# Load a Nix package set from a source specified in one of the following

# 2. git!$repo!$rev (e.g. git!git@github.com:NixOS/nixpkgs.git!master)

#
# '!' was chosen as the separator because `builtins.split` does not
# support regex escapes and there are few other candidates. It
# doesn't matter much because this is invoked by the server.
