"When/how do I use that," he asks...and I can only say: I'm not using that...I think we want this to work--or something like this, we talked about this at FOSDEM, but AFAIK everyone is using Guix with Git. He responds with: then *why* is it in the manual. I have no answer. Possibly I'm wrong and/or my information is outdated?
