Subject: [PATCH] fix `home.activation.checkLinkTargets`
 ======================================

Problem
-------

We resolve symlinks from inside `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files` into the nix store as `/nix/store/HASH-DRVNAME` which does not match the pattern.

This happened to me because I pull in some repos in via `home.file`. The `home-manager-files` derivation links to the repo's derivation in the nix store. For example:

    let nanorcs = fetchFromGitHub {
      owner = "scopatz";
      repo = "nanorc";
      …
    }; in [
      {
        target = ".nano";
        source = nanorcs;
      }
      {
        target = ".nanorc";
        source = "${nanorcs}/nanorc";
      }
    ]

Solution
--------

Call `readlink` without `-e` to obtain only the first redirection from `~` to `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`.
