Interesting finding! I think it'd make sense to raise this issue
separately and discuss its resolution there, too keep things focused and
discoverable :-).
-------------------- End of forwarded message --------------------
The issue is introduced by commit
dce2cf311bc12dee4560329f53ccb53470d5793e in the procedure
reference-available?. The variable ’ref’ is the pair
(tag-or-commit . "123abc")
and fails with commit-id? in
(match ref
((or ('commit . commit)
('tag-or-commit . (? commit-id? commit)))
Therefore, reference-available? returns #f and the ’when’ branch is run
in update-cached-checkout.
;; Only fetch remote if it has not been cloned just before.
(when (and cache-exists?
(not (reference-available? repository ref)))
(remote-fetch (remote-lookup repository "origin")
#:fetch-options (make-default-fetch-options)))
Hence the network access required by remote-fetch.
Well, the heavy work to know if the reference is available or not in the
local checkout is done by ’resolve-reference’ in (guix git) doing all
the cases, and especially dealing with tag-or-commit:
(match ref
(('branch . branch)
(let ((oid (reference-target
(branch-lookup repository branch BRANCH-REMOTE))))
(object-lookup repository oid)))
(('commit . commit)
(let ((len (string-length commit)))
;; 'object-lookup-prefix' appeared in Guile-Git in Mar. 2018, so we
;; can't be sure it's available. Furthermore, 'string->oid' used to
;; read out-of-bounds when passed a string shorter than 40 chars,
;; which is why we delay calls to it below.
(if (< len 40)
(if (module-defined? (resolve-interface '(git object))
'object-lookup-prefix)
(object-lookup-prefix repository (string->oid commit) len)
(raise (condition
(&message
(message "long Git object ID is required")))))
(object-lookup repository (string->oid commit)))))
(('tag-or-commit . str)
(if (or (> (string-length str) 40)
(not (string-every char-set:hex-digit str)))
(resolve `(tag . ,str)) ;definitely a tag
(catch 'git-error
(lambda ()
(resolve `(tag . ,str)))
(lambda _
;; There's no such tag, so it must be a commit ID.
(resolve `(commit . ,str))))))
(('tag . tag)
(let ((oid (reference-name->oid repository
(string-append "refs/tags/" tag))))
(object-lookup repository oid))))
Instead of duplicating, I propose to reuse it. See the trivial first
patch. I think it fixes the annoyance.
Aside, please note that (guix channels) provide commit-or-tag. It
change nothing but I would find more consistent to have the same
nomenclature.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (sexp->channel-news-entry entry)
"Return the <channel-news-entry> record corresponding to ENTRY, an sexp."
(define (pair language message)
(cons (symbol->string language) message))
(match entry
(('entry ((and (or 'commit 'tag) type) commit-or-tag)
('title ((? symbol? title-tags) (? string? titles)) ...)
('body ((? symbol? body-tags) (? string? bodies)) ...)
_ ...)
(channel-news-entry (and (eq? type 'commit) commit-or-tag)
(and (eq? type 'tag) commit-or-tag)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
WDYT about tag-or-commit everywhere?
Last, as I pointed in a naive comment [1], I do not think that
guix/scripts/pull.scm or guix/time-machine.scm need to support both the
pair (commit . x) and (tag-or-commit . x) because the value ’ref’ is set
by the option. Hence the second patch.

Let me know if I am not missing something.
Cheers,
simon
