The comment at the top of git-and-tools/default.nix said:
/* All git-relates tools live here, in a separate attribute set so that users
* can get a fast overview over what's available.
but unfortunately that hasn't actually held up in practice.
Git-related packages have continued to be added to the top level, or
into gitAndTools, or sometimes both, basically at random, so having
gitAndTools is just confusing. In fact, until I looked as part of
working on getting rid of gitAndTools, one program (ydiff) was
packaged twice independently, once in gitAndTools and once at the top
level (I fixed this in 98c3490196).
So I think it's for the best if we move away from gitAndTools, and
just put all the packages it previously contained at the top level.
I've implemented this here by just making gitAndTools an alias for the
top level -- this saves having loads of lines in aliases.nix. This
means that people can keep referring to gitAndTools in their
configuration, but it won't be allowed to be used within Nixpkgs, and
it won't be presented to new users by e.g. nix search.
The only other change here that I'm aware of is that
appendToName "minimal" is not longer called on the default git
package, because doing that would have necessitated having a private
gitBase variable like before. I think it makes more sense not to do
that anyway, and reserve the "minimal" suffix only for gitMinimal.
It's been 8.5 years since NixOS used mingetty, but the option was
never renamed (despite the file definining the module being renamed in
9f5051b76c ("Rename mingetty module to agetty")).
I've chosen to rename it to services.getty here, rather than
services.agetty, because getty is implemantation-neutral and also the
name of the unit that is generated.
This plugin is used commonly enough that we should ensure it still
builds (and dovecot works) after loading it.
This is not yet perfect as we aren't testing any of it's functionality
but at least we ensure that dovecot continues to do the regular job.
Previously, after the version bump to v247, we broke journalctl --grep
as libpcre2 was lazily loaded during runtime using dlopen(3). This
ensures that we have a test case that alerts us when it fails again.

This reverts commit 20257280d9, reversing
changes made to 926a1b2094.
It broke nixosTests.installer.simpleUefiSystemdBoot
and right now channel is lagging behing for two weeks.
