Release 2.27.0 (2025-03-03)

inputs.self.submodules flake attribute #12421

Flakes in Git repositories can now declare that they need Git submodules to be enabled:
```
{
  inputs.self.submodules = true;
}
```
Thus, it's no longer needed for the caller of the flake to pass submodules = true.
Git LFS support #10153 #12468

The Git fetcher now supports Large File Storage (LFS). This can be enabled by passing the attribute lfs = true to the fetcher, e.g.
```
nix flake prefetch 'git+ssh://git@github.com/Apress/repo-with-large-file-storage.git?lfs=1'
```
A flake can also declare that it requires LFS to be enabled:
```
{
  inputs.self.lfs = true;
}
```

Set FD_CLOEXEC on sockets created by curl #12439

Curl created sockets without setting FD_CLOEXEC/SOCK_CLOEXEC. This could previously cause connections to remain open forever when using commands like nix shell. This change sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag using a CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION callback.
