(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
This reverts commit 88b5578a57 because of the
following issues:
1) If $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE is set in the current shell environment, then
its value will overwrite any settings the user may have configured in
http.sslCAInfo via git-config(1). If you are unaware of the wrapper, then
this behavior is totally unexpected as $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE is not
supposed to have an effect on Git.
2) The patch makes it impossible for Git users to use the $GIT_SSL_CAINFO
environment variable as documented in git-config(1), because anything set
there will be overwritten with the value of $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE (which
might be empty).
3) The patch breaks other builds of packages that depend on Git, i.e.
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/11995872/nixlog/1/raw>.
Conflict in kerberos, which was updated both in master and in
stdenv-updates. Kept the stdenv-updates version, except pulled in the
enableParallelBuilding change from master.

Git's Makefile has a NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS flag to produce symlinks
instead of hard links. However, it still produces hard links between
$out/bin and $out/libexec, hence the patch.
Also, update Git to 1.8.2.1.

Commit 1764ea2b0a introduced changes to libxslt
in an awkward way to avoid re-builds on Linux. This patch has been simplified
during this merge.
Our hard-linking code depended on md5sum, which FreeBSD doesn't have in its
system environment. To avoid that impure dependency, the hard-linking is now
done with the 'hardlink' utility from Nixpkgs.
Patch Tcl/Tk scripts to invoke 'wish' using the complete executable path to
ensure that the proper version is being used.

The postInstall hook replaces identical copies of the same files in $out with
symlinks. This patch changes the call to 'ln' to pass the '-v' flag so that we
can see in the build log which files were replaced.

The "find -print | while read" loop failed to deal with paths that contain
whitespace. Instead, we now use a similar construct that's based on globbing.

The git-gui module cannot be wrapped like gitk, because the Tcl implementation
uses the program's basename to determine stuff like the name of the Window it
opens, etc., and it cannot deal with a program name that contain a dot, like
".git-gui-wrapped" did.
Instead of wrapping git-gui, it's now patched to execute 'wish' with a complete
store path.
While I was at it, I also applied this solution to git-gui--askpass.

If a build expressions has set "enableParallelBuilding = true", then the
generic builder may utilize more than one CPU core to build that particular
expression. This feature works out of the box for GNU Make. Expressions that
use other build drivers like Boost.Jam or SCons have to specify appropriate
flags such as "-j${NIX_BUILD_CORES}" themselves.
