I am trying to upgrade GuixSD, originally installed from the 0.13.0
amd64 USB image.  However, the `guix pull' command exits badly.

```

This has been fixed recently: <https://bugs.gnu.org/29238>.  You’ll get
the fix on your next ‘git pull’.

In the meantime, there are 2 possible workarounds:

  1.   mkdir -p ~/.cache/guix/pull
       cd ~/.cache/guix/pull
       git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git \
          pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq

  2.   mv ~/.config/guix/latest{,.bak} && guix pull

Let me know how it goes.

The problem is solved after applying workaround 1.

Just now I started another `git pull' and there are again no syntax
errors (compiling...).
