It=E2=80=99s not yet possible.  =E2=80=9Cguile-git=E2=80=9D only recently g=
ained support for
pretty =E2=80=9Cgit describe=E2=80=9D-style formats, but there has not been=
 a new
release of =E2=80=9Cguile-git=E2=80=9D that contains these changes.

Once a new version of =E2=80=9Cguile-git=E2=80=9D becomes available we shou=
ld be able to
adjust =E2=80=9Cguix describe=E2=80=9D.
