A drawback is that the Git repo is huge and expensive to clone.
Also it would be nice if the user could create virtual tags, that is to
say, without having their own clone of the Guix repo (because it's
expensive).
It's lightweight to transfer an s-exp mapping of commits-tags to another
machine. It's costsly to transfer the full Guix repo.

This could fit the ~/.config/guix/config.scm we've been waiting for :D
