Guix ‘origin’ forms store the expected SHA256 of the checkout.  So
everytime we do a Git checkout, guix-daemon explicitly makes sure the
the checkout contents match the given SHA256.  IOW, we already have
integrity checks built in Guix.  For this reason, I think ‘git fsck’
wouldn’t provide any additional guarantee.

Hope this makes sense!
