Description
I've encountered situations where I am somewhere with no internet connection and tools like nix-build, nix-shell, nix-env, etc. fail with some kind of network error even though I know all the dependencies exist locally. It would be really nice if the default behavior didn't make any network requests if all the dependencies are already in the local nix cache.
