Building Node 10.1.3 with Nix?

I am trying to build the latest cardano-node using nix, but nix builds version 10.1.2 instead of version 10.1.3. I am following the documentation from here:

github.com

input-output-hk/cardano-node-wiki/blob/main/docs/getting-started/building-the-node-using-nix.md

# Building Cardano Node with nix

The [Nix Package Manager][nix] can be installed on most Linux distributions by downloading and
running the installation script:
```
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install > install-nix.sh
chmod +x install-nix.sh
./install-nix.sh
```
and following the directions.

Then the [Flake][flake] feature of nix (and IFD support) should be enabled:
```
sudo mkdir -p /etc/nix
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/nix/nix.conf
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
allow-import-from-derivation = true
EOF
```

This file has been truncated. show original

I am cloning the node as follows:
git clone https://github.com/intersectmbo/cardano-node
but nix keeps building 10.1.2? I’m not sure why I’m not getting the latest version?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I noticed on the latest release page, there is a note that says “It is required that users upgrade to this version of the node.” I have never successfully upgraded a node before. I don’t see any documentation describing how to upgrade a node that was built using nix. This is not a block producing node, it’s a node for use with cardano-db-sync.
