Yeah, Nix's fetchGit just calls out to git; which is great for seamlessly handling weird SSH setups and the like.

Nix itself has a plugin mechanism, but its rarely used (since it can harm reproducibility; and TBH that seems to be the only reason to use it, for those very rare situations that it's desirable)
