For those who haven't read it before, see the bug report 'Trustable guix
pull':

Recently, I added some instructions to the manual to explain how to
deploy a specific version of Guix with `guix pull`:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=8a9cffb202414b20081910115ba76402924bdcdd
It depends on cgit, but it's better than nothing for now.

Savannah will soon announce general availability of Git over HTTPS. It's
usable now. I sent an RFC patch that is not yet in the guix-devel
archive (so I don't have a link to share).
