Guix pull needs =E2=80=9Cguile-git=E2=80=9D, and =E2=80=9Cguile-git=E2=80=
=9D needs =E2=80=9Clibgit2=E2=80=9D, which
needs =E2=80=9Cpython-wrapper=E2=80=9D.  To remove the need for Python in =
=E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D we
would need to build libgit2 without Python.  I don=E2=80=99t know if anyone=
 has
investigated whether this can be done.

This is likely due to grafts.  When you do =E2=80=9Cguix pull --no-grafts -=
n=E2=80=9D
the behaviour is as expected.
