Subject: bug#42290: Support other VCS with "guix build --with-commit"

|Serverity: wishlist|

guix build --with-commit only works with git repos.

It would be nice if this would also work with mercurial, SVN, Monotone, CVS, etc. repos.

Implementing this should not be too hard, as basically this is just setting a value in the source definition. (At least this is what
I would assume it does.)
