Hello Guix!

I’ve now committed this file:
b3011dbbd2 doc: Mention "make authenticate".
787766ed1e git-authenticate: Keep a local cache of previously-authenticated commits.
785af04a75 git: 'commit-difference' takes a list of excluded commits.
1e43ab2c03 Add 'build-aux/git-authenticate.scm'.
Commit 787766ed1e takes care of caching (one of the limitations I
mentioned in my previous message).
Commit b3011dbbd2 adds instructions for contributors on how to
authenticate a checkout (copied below). It’s a bit bumpy so I would
very much welcome feedback and suggestions on how to improve this!
Thanks in advance!
Ludo’.

If you want to hack Guix itself, it is recommended to use the latest
version from the Git repository:
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
How do you ensure that you obtained a genuine copy of the repository?
Guix itself provides a tool to “authenticate” your checkout, but you
must first make sure this tool is genuine in order to “bootstrap” the
trust chain. To do that, run:
git verify-commit `git log --format=%H build-aux/git-authenticate.scm`
The output must look something like:
gpg: Signature made Fri 27 Dec 2019 01:27:41 PM CET
gpg: using RSA key 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5
...
gpg: Signature made Fri 27 Dec 2019 01:25:22 PM CET
gpg: using RSA key 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5
...
... meaning that changes to this file are all signed with key
‘3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5’ (you may need to fetch this
key from a key server, if you have not done it yet).
From there on, you can authenticate all the commits included in your
checkout by running:
make authenticate
The first run takes a couple of minutes, but subsequent runs are
faster.
Note: You are advised to run ‘make authenticate’ after every ‘git
pull’ invocation. This ensures you keep receiving valid changes to
the repository
