It rings this bell:

   <https://yhetil.org/guix-patches/87v9khjq3y.fsf@gnu.org>

and so maybe this bug: <https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/-/issues/21>. 

Mathieu, Ludo or any other Guile-Git masters, WDYT?

Therefore, let open the repo outside:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guix-user)> (use-modules (guix git) (git) (guix channels) (ice-9 match) (srfi srfi-1))
scheme@(guix-user)> (define cache (url-cache-directory (channel-url %default-guix-channel)))
scheme@(guix-user)> (define repo (repository-open cache))
scheme@(guix-user)> (define commits (let* ((latest-commit
                             (commit-lookup repo (reference-target (repository-head repo)))))
     (let loop ((commit latest-commit)
                (res (list latest-commit)))
       (match (commit-parents commit)
              (() (reverse res))
              ((head . tail)
               (loop head (cons head res)))))))
scheme@(guix-user)> ,pp (take commits 5)
$1 = (#<git-commit b828057ea4c096898da8c9810e7a6607359f2aa3>
