Because it requires (git) and (guix ui).  So you need ./pre-inst-env for
(guix ui), plus guile, guile-git and guile-gcrypt.  The minimal setup
would be:

    `guix shell guile guile-git guile-gcrypt git git:send-email --pure -- ./pre-inst-env git send-email`

or

    `guix shell guile guile-git guile-gcrypt -- ./pre-inst-env git send-email`

with an impure environment containing git and git:send-email.

But it could be shortened as

    `guix shell git:send-email -D guix --pure -- ./pre-inst-env git send-email`

However, in this case `guix shell git:send-email` is necessary even with
impure environments containing git and git:send-email because `-D guix`
pulls git without pulling git:send-email.

Thanks,
Clément
