This PR adds external git dependency support to the Juvix package
format.
## New dependency Git item
You can now add a `git` block to the dependencies list:
```yaml
name: HelloWorld
main: HelloWorld.juvix
dependencies:
- .juvix-build/stdlib
- git:
url: https://my.git.repo
name: myGitRepo
ref: main
version: 0.1.0
```
Git block required fields:
* `url`: The URL of the git repository
* `ref`: The git reference that should be checked out
* `name`: The name for the dependency. This is used to name the
directory of the clone, it is required. Perhaps we could come up with a
way to automatically name the clone directory. Current ideas are to
somehow encode the URL / ref combination or use a UUID. However there's
some value in having the clone directory named in a friendly way.
NB:
* The values of the `name` fields must be unique among the git blocks in
the dependencies list.
## Behaviour
When dependencies for a package are registered, at the beginning of the
compiler pipeline, all remote dependencies are processed:
1. If it doesn't already exist, the remote dependency is cloned to
`.juvix-build/deps/$name`
2. `git fetch` is run in the clone
3. `git checkout` at the specified `ref` is run in the clone
The clone is then processed by the PathResolver in the same way as path
dependencies.
NB:
* Remote dependencies of transitive dependencies are also processed.
* The `git fetch` step is required for the case where the remote is
updated. In this case we want the user to be able to update the `ref`
field.
## Errors
1. Missing fields in the Git dependency block are YAML parse errors
2. Duplicate `name` values in the dependencies list is an error thrown
when the package file is processed
3. The `ref` doesn't exist in the clone or the clone directory is
otherwise corrupt. An error with a suggestion to `juvix clean` is given.
The package file path is used as the location in the error message.
4. Other `git` command errors (command not found, etc.), a more verbose
error is given with the arguments that were passed to the git command.
## Future work
1. Add an offline mode
2. Add a lock file mechanism that resolves branch/tag git refs to commit
hashes
