  + NB: The fetcher from this plugin does not automatically get used when running

  + nix commands (e.g. `nix build`) in a Pijul repository, since this is hardcoded

  + for Git and Mercurial in Nix. For this, I have a patch that adds the relevant

  + code for Pijul, it's available as

  + [nix-pijul](https://git.sr.ht/~dblsaiko/nix-extras/tree/master/item/packages/nix-pijul.nix)

  + in my *nix-extras* flake. It replaces the normal Nix installation and can be

  + used in addition to this plugin.
