Very nice! I just looked at the build
(https://travis-ci.org/NixOS/nixpkgs/builds/35955022)  for PR #4209
which says it has succeeded by at the end of the log is the following error:

Reviewing PR
Cloning nixpkgs
fatal: attempt to fetch/clone from a shallow repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Nothing changed

I don't have time to look into this, just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for your effort!
