As I wrote, as an example, I don’t think that there could be a practical
implementation of (guix git-authenticate) shelling out to ‘git’.
Anyhow, how about this plan:
1. Merge <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65866> with the hard Git
dependency.
2. When libgit2 1.7 with shallow clones is available in Guix, work on
a patch to use Guile-Git for clones and evaluate it.
3. Brainstorm on ways to address lack of GC support based on a closer
analysis of disk usage for Guix’s cached checkouts.
Deal?
Ludo’.
PS: I don’t buy the “libgit2 will disappear from Guix” argument because
it’s not a natural phenomenon that we’re observing but a willful
construction.
