Ha, but there indeed is a bug present.  If you actually follow the documentation
(clone -> authenticate -> build), it will not work anymore due to the changes in
guix git authenticate.

When you run the authenticate, it updates the .git/config by recording the
channel introduction.  Due to that the appropriate target in Makefile
(`.git/config: etc/git/gitconfig') no longer works, since .git/config is now
newer.

As a workaround, running `touch etc/git/gitconfig' and `make' should correctly
install the configuration (hence fixing it for you), however you should probably
report this as a bug, this needs to be fixed upstream.

Have a nice day,
Tomas
