Maybe there is a misunderstanding: the first pull happens on the
installation media, thus it disappears when I reboot on the installed
system.

What I think we should do is that when we run `guix system init`, we
would copy the checkout to the store, and then when `guix pull` is run
the first time on the newly installed system, it would get the git repo
from the store and optionally fetch the remaining git commits if there
is any.

Thoughts?
