In that case, `guix download` would need to take a Git hash as an
argument.
In general, I think it's a good idea to avoid `guix download` when
writing packages, unless you make sure to double-check that the
package's origin field works as expected. I've submitted packages with a
bad URL that was masked because the tarball was already in my store from
`guix download`. So, now I always download my sources "by hand" and
calculate the hash from the result of that.
