[Nix-dev] fetchgit with ssh

[Thomas Bereknyei]

I'm not positive this is the problem, but take a look at another
example. No quotes around the url and different format.

  src = fetchgit {
      url = git://git.gnupg.org/libgcrypt.git;
      rev = "99b18aa53";
      sha256 = "1rhbpxqrkfszlv8jvw8s4apwklal07k8zxv5q555l7binc1j1j3z";
   };
