[Nix-dev] Problem with git checkout in hydra

My hydra server can't use
 git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git
as a "Git checkout" build input.

Here is the evaluation error I get:
error fetching latest change from git repo at `git://
github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git':
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

If I change the with the following
 git://github.com/maggesi/nixpkgs.git
(i.e. NixOS -> maggesi)
then it works just fine.

I tried to manually check out (i.e. git clone) the repo and it works if I
use it as a "Local Path" build input.
I also made several other attempts but with no success.

By the way: is it possible to specify a list of strings as build inputs?
(It would be useful for values like supportedSystems).

Thanks,
Marco
