There's some top-level attribute rev being passed through to the manual rendering machinery, which is used to create the source links. It comes from flake.nix, but I just can't find where and how it's set.

Ideas?

set by the flake machinery because it's a git repo, probably

Hm no, at least I don't see how a flake would do that. An empty flake like this:

{
  outputs = { self, ... }: {
    foo = self;
  };
}

called with nix eval .#foo doesn't show a rev attribute.
