maybe i'm overthinking this, and all we need is a way to point to git commit ranges that are compatible.

more specifically, i'm maintaining the guix-crypto channel, and i often miss the ability to point to a guix commit, beyond which there is a change in guix that my channel is not yet compatible with. if my users issue a `guix pull`, then it would not pull the guix channel beyond that commit, and warn the users that it's being held back.
