I=E2=80=99m talking about git commits. =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D fetches from channels, which are git repositori= es. When git history is rewritten (e.g. with a rebase) it has no way of forwarding to the new state. Have you considered using a merge-based workflow for these channels? Or, since these channels aren=E2=80=99t public, perhaps using GUIX_PACKAGE_= PATH would be more convenient? --=20 Ricardo
