I do not know the (inferior) internals.
And currently I do not have the time to give a look into the sources
to crunch concrete details. :-)
So, it is hard for me to discuss further some "implementation
details". That's maybe why I pointed to your attention this wishlist.

Maybe not, if "guix pull" is simply an overlay to "git pull".
Well, I cannot tell because I do not know the internal details. With
*if* my aunt becomes my uncle. ;-)


My point is: since all or part of Git repo information is somehow
already locally there, then all or part of this information should
somehow be exposed at the Guix CLI level. The 2 first features missing
me are "git tag" and "git log".
However, I do not have more clue on how to process then. :-D
I mean right now I have more use-cases in mind than concrete
implementation details. :-)
