Wait! :)

Although I agree that this behaviour is not a bug, it's something that
many Guix contributors discover independently and find confusing, or
even distressing.

And we sometimes receive patches that include the wrong source hash or
wrong URL because of similar issues; sometimes these mistakes are even
committed to guix.git.

Maybe there is *something* we can do to improve this experience, if only
a section in the manual or a tweak to the UI.

Any ideas?
