 A similar problem arises while testing changes to a fetcher's implementation. If the output of the derivation already exists in the Nix store, test failures can go undetected. The [`invalidateFetcherByDrvHash`](#tester-invalidateFetcherByDrvHash) function helps prevent reusing cached derivations.

 Additionally, the following optional arguments can be given: `fetchSubmodules = true` makes `fetchgit` also fetch the submodules of a repository. If `deepClone` is set to true, the entire repository is cloned as opposing to just creating a shallow clone. `deepClone = true` also implies `leaveDotGit = true` which means that the `.git` directory of the clone won't be removed after checkout.

 When fetching from GitHub, commits must always be referenced by their full commit hash. This is because GitHub shares commit hashes among all forks and returns `404 Not Found` when a short commit hash is ambiguous. It already happens for some short, 6-character commit hashes in `nixpkgs`.
 It is a practical vector for a denial-of-service attack by pushing large amounts of auto generated commits into forks and was already [demonstrated against GitHub Actions Beta](https://blog.teddykatz.com/2019/11/12/github-actions-dos.html).

 * `defaultVersion` (optional). Coq libraries may be compatible with some specific versions of Coq only. The `defaultVersion` attribute is used when no `version` is provided (or if `version = null`) to select the version of the library to use by default, depending on the context. This selection will mainly depend on a `coq` version number but also possibly on other packages versions (e.g. `mathcomp`). If its value ends up to be `null`, the package is marked for removal in end-user `coqPackages` attribute set.
 * `release` (optional, defaults to `{}`), lists all the known releases of the library and for each of them provides an attribute set with at least a `sha256` attribute (you may put the empty string `""` in order to automatically insert a fake sha256, this will trigger an error which will allow you to find the correct sha256), each attribute set of the list of releases also takes optional overloading arguments for the fetcher as below (i.e.`domain`, `owner`, `repo`, `rev` assuming the default fetcher is used) and optional overrides for the result of the fetcher (i.e. `version` and `src`).
