OK whomst do I poke here to get https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/1243 merged

This is "working" as expected

hydra-eval-jobs returned exit code 1:
error: file 'nixpkgs/default.nix' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
error: worker error: error: file 'nixpkgs/default.nix' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

This is "working" as expected in a Nix eval

I'd like to be able to use declarative jobsets in hydra to spawn jobsets for all unmerged branches(essentially the parsed result of git branch --no-merge main). I figure [dynamic]runCommand will be useful for this but I've not been able to figure out a path of least resistance? (eg, how to get the branch information without inflating evaluation time by a lot, in the case of large repositories). I've tried to go though the git protocol api docs but they seem to be broken on the site right now. Has anyone else done this with a generic git host and hydra?

Alternatively, is there a way to get branch merged information when doing git ls-remote?

Edit: seems like I might be looking for git clone --filter=tree:0 <url>

In reply to@andreas.schraegle:helsinki-systems.de
doesn't one of those plugin sort of already do that? gitrefs maybe?

The plugins I'm aware of are GitInput Github{Pulls,Refs,Status} and GitLab{Pulls,Status} and GiteaStatus(https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/tree/master/src/lib/Hydra/Plugin). As far as I can tell there isn't yet a GitRefs plugin that does this generically for any git-host? I've been trying to pass parameters (deepClone) to the GitInput input but I'm not getting the branch information i've been looking for yet.
