Hello Guix!

When someone’s working on a channel, it’s typical to have that channel
already in your ‘guix’ and to use ‘guix build -L /path/to/checkout PKG’
to test a package from a working copy of the channel.  Here’s what it
looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat ~/.config/guix/past-channels.scm 
(cons (channel
        (name 'guix-past)
        (url "https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past")
        (introduction
         (make-channel-introduction
          "0c119db2ea86a389769f4d2b9c6f5c41c027e336"
          (openpgp-fingerprint
           "3CE4 6455 8A84 FDC6 9DB4  0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5"))))
      %default-channels)
$ guix pull -p /tmp/test -C ~/.config/guix/past-channels.scm

The problem as can be seen above is that all these Guile warnings are
confusing at best and useless: there’s nothing the user can do about
them.
