The effort saves ~230MiB of download, did once.

And for multi-users context, it often means a sysadmin is around.  So,
the first pull could done with:

   guix pull --url=/home/simon/src/guix

where the path is a shared local repo created by the sysadmin.

Well, it could be imagined that the root repo is under say
/var/guix/checkouts/ and then if ~/.cache/guix/checkouts does not exist,
it tries first to clone from this local repo.

For sure, it is better the planet. ;-)

All the best,
simon
