Hi,
Is this expected?
[0] marusich@garuda.local:~/my-guix
$ guix build --with-source=. guix
guix build: warning: transformation 'with-source' had no effect on guix-0.14.0-9.bdf0c64
/gnu/store/kxihyd1f9kxrh5s2r2yk1f1kwbnxnbvs-guix-0.14.0-9.bdf0c64
[0] marusich@garuda.local:~/my-guix
$ guix build --with-source=$(pwd) guix
guix build: warning: transformation 'with-source' had no effect on guix-0.14.0-9.bdf0c64
/gnu/store/kxihyd1f9kxrh5s2r2yk1f1kwbnxnbvs-guix-0.14.0-9.bdf0c64

The manual provides the following examples (see: (guix) Package
Transformation Options), so I was a little surprised that the similar
invocations above didn't work for Guix:
guix build ed --with-source=mirror://gnu/ed/ed-1.7.tar.gz
guix build guile --with-source=../guile-2.0.9.219-e1bb7.tar.xz
For the record, it DOES work if I run:
guix build --with-source=guix=$(pwd) guix

The --with-source argument requires that the directory is named the same
as the package you are building. This is so that you can pass it
multiple times in one invocation, with multiple transformations.

...except for tarballs, apparently.

This was added in 3e30cdf1c35ebeb52630ec19b3b43b9e6d5ffb81 precisely to
provide a convenient method for using --with-source without renaming or
symlinking the target directory, IIRC.
Hope this clears things up!
