        This code will be added to the builder creating the system store path.
        This use case copies your configuration file into the system derivation:
        <command>
        cp ${pkgs.lib.maybeEnv "NIXOS_CONFIG" "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix"} $out
        </command>
        Of course you could add code saving a svn diff or svn revision number
        of both nixos and nixpkgs repositories as well. Keep in mind that when
        you build in chroots that you have do either copy sources to store or
        add them to the chroot somehow.
        You still should consider putting your configuration into a VCS.
