By default, the tarball is taken from its canonical address at
@code{gnu.org}, for the stable branch of Guix.
+With some Git servers, this can be used to deploy any version of Guix.
+For example, to download and deploy the version 0.12.0 of Guix from the
+canonical Git repo:
+
+@example
+guix pull --url=http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/v0.12.0.tar.gz
+@end example
+
+It can also be used to deploy arbitrary Git revisions:
+
+@example
+guix pull --url=http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/74d862e8a.tar.gz
+@end example

@item --bootstrap
Use the bootstrap Guile to build the latest Guix. This option is only
useful to Guix developers.
