git-download has a built-in option to download from Software Heritage
(SWH) as a fall-back, when a repository is unavailable. Unfortunately,
that code is never reached:


./pre-inst-env guix build guile-bash --no-substitutes --no-grafts -S

The code is in git-download.scm, line 133:

            (or (git-fetch (getenv "git url") (getenv "git commit")
                           #$output
                           #:recursive? recursive?
                           #:git-command (string-append #+git "/bin/git"))
                (download-nar #$output)

                ;; As a last resort, attempt to download from Software Heritage.
                ;; XXX: Currently recursive checkouts are not supported.
                (and (not recursive?)
                     (swh-download (getenv "git url") (getenv "git commit")
                                   #$output)))))))

If I change the order of the or and add the shw-download first, it
works.
