nixos/version: Try to get Git revison from .git
Let's first try if we can determine the Git revision from the .git
directory and if that fails, fall back to get the info from the
".git-revision" file... and after that use something generic like
"master".

This should address #17218 in better way, because we don't need to
create another redundant file in the source checkout of nixpkgs.

I'm not going to route of falling back to using .git, because after
55d881e, we already have ".git-revision" files in people's Git
repositories, which in turn means that nixos-version will report that
old file every time even if the working tree has updated.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
