guix build -S 💛 --with-branch

[jgart]

Hi Guixers,

Just opening this thread for us to brainstorm how we can improve the symbiosis 
between guix build -S and --with-branch.

>From a #guix irc conversation earlier today with civodul:

jgart:
What do people think of having a guix clone command that passes the result of 
(-> network-manager (package-source) (origin-uri)) to git clone? -> is from 
guile-pipe package in upstream guix


civodul:
> hey! sounds interesting; there's some overlap with "guix build -S" and with 
> "--with-branch" and the likes, i wonder how we could improve symbiosis :-)

all best,

jgart
