Can't process git dependency by commit SHA

package.json:

{ "name": "testing"
  , "private" : true
  , "dependencies":
    { "fs-ext": "git://github.com/gfxmonk/node-fs-ext.git#4c77f466a42e92e3aee72a68d9fb37b0513cbd35"
    }
}

Error output:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 4c77f46... add fcntl to README.md

The error message seems to be coming from git rev-parse, while the warning about the detached HEAD state seems to be from a (successful) git checkout of the given commit.

I tried downgrading to version 5.6.0 of npm2nix, and that seems to work for the same package.json

I think this is fixed in 5d07532 are you still having the same problem?

Nope - it works fine for me now. Thanks :)
