[bug#47756] [PATCH] gnu: guile-git: Update to 0.5.0.

[Xinglu Chen]

* gnu/packages/guile.scm (guile-git): Update to 0.5.0.
[source]: Use ‘git-fetch’ instead of ‘url-fetch’.
[native-inputs]: Add autoconf, automake, and texinfo.
---
I used ‘git-fetch’ because it is more flexible than ‘url-fetch’, users
can for example use package transformations to easily use a desired
commit/branch.  Because the distributed tarball includes files that are
generated by running ‘./configure’, users would then have to manually
add some native-inputs to make it build with a custom version of the
package (this has happened to me a few times).

Hi!

I pushed that update independently as
c2e83b71054f953953711e027f863d6c75c6ddb2.

I agree this is desirable.  I didn’t do that because I thought it might
be a case where we need Guile-Git for ‘git-fetch’, but I think I was
wrong (I was confusing with Guile-Zlib, which we cannot obtain via
‘git-fetch’ because ‘git-fetch’ uses it.)

So after all, maybe we can use ‘git-fetch’?

Yeah, ‘git-fetch’ in (guix build git) runs (invoke "git" args ...), it
doesn’t seem to have any dependency on Guile-Git.

I think that would a good idea. :)
