Git depenency only work for default (master) branch about crate2nix HOT 2 CLOSED

Maybe you can try to change the generated output slightly, especially the parameters from builtins.fetchGit? If you can make it work with that, please write about your changes here and I make it work with crate2nix.

Thank you!

In my case I only specified the branch on my Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.multicast_dns]
version = "0.4.2"
git = "https://github.com/andir/multicast-dns"
branch = "support-announce"

Which translated to the following entry in the lock file carrying the revision AND branch.

[[package]]
name = "multicast_dns"
version = "0.4.2"                                                          
source = "git+https://github.com/andir/multicast-dns?branch=support-announce#55d5ade735641a46ee4ce749698a35a6f29cd093"
dependencies = [
 "libc 0.2.62 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
 "log 0.4.8 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]

So the information seems to be retained. Passing ref (branch name/tag) to builtins.fetchGit should fix the above error. Does crate2nix have that kind of information or do we have to patch the cargo metadata feature?
