It is weird that guix using libgit cannot do what git does. Maybe git
does not use libgit?

Thank you for that pointer.

There does not seem to be a good solution outside of what I have. The
"newer" version (with a more modern CGI-based technology stack!) is
much more complex to set up.

Perhaps the smartest thing for me to do would be to install the cgit
guix service 
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Version-Control-Services.html.
