This check spuriously fails for e.g. git@github.com:NixOS/nixpkgs.git, and even for ssh://git@github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git, and is made redundant by the checks git itself will do when fetching the repo. We instead pass a -- before passing the URI to git to avoid injection.
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
