Just to be sure to understand:

 1- * 41a2d6a8b9 (newer)
 2- * e70e097882 (between)
 3- * 36640207c9 (older)
 4- * xxxxxxxxxx (first authenticated commit)

From a fresh cache,

 a) if #2 is authenticated, because it is descendant of #4, it is stored
 and all the commits between (closure), i.e., #3 should be considered as
 authenticated.

 b) then if #1 is authenticated, because it is a descendant of the last
 authenticated i.e. #2, it is stored in the cache.

 c) now let try #3.  It is considered authenticated because in the closure
 of #4 and #2.

Yes it makes sense.  All is good. :-)

(And the assumption is: if Guix does not raise then it means that the
commit is authenticated.)


Cheers,
simon
