0a0c1fcb4d * The `-v' flag no longer takes an argument; it should be repeated
instead (e.g., `-vvvv' for lots of output).  Default is to only
  print error messages.

1a7468a57a * Debug levels. Use `--verbose / -v LEVEL' to display only messages
up to the given verbosity levels.  These currently are:

    lvlError = 0, 
    lvlNormal = 5,
    lvlDebug = 10,
    lvlDebugMore = 15

  although only lvlError and lvlDebug are actually used right now.

e877c69d78 * Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are
substituting for (obvious, really).

* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
  path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
  preventing a path copy.

* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
  that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id.  This
  is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
  build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
  divergence.  It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
  that such expressions are not used interchangeably.

249988a787 * Allow the output/expression id to be forced to a certain
value; this potentially dangerous feature enables better 
  sharing for those paths for which the content is known in 
  advance (e.g., because a content hash is given).
* Fast builds: if we can expand all output paths of a derive 
  expression, we don't have to build.

49231fbe41 * Changes to the command line syntax of Nix.
* A function to find all Nix expressions whose output ids are
  completely contained in some set.  Useful for uploading relevant Nix
  expressions to a shared cache.
