What do you mean "nothing happens"? Running "nix-env -i git" should
(re-)install GIT with SVN support enabled. That should work. If it
doesn't, then what exactly does happen when you run "nix-env -i git"?

I'm running nix-env 0.12pre12824.

I believe that those options cannot be passed to nix-env on the
command-line. Someone correct me, please, if I'm wrong.
