Thanks!

Cool!  However, it works for commands using 'parse-command-line' and
not 'args-fold*'.  For example, one patch of the series replace for
"guix show" and "guix search".  I would like to replace all the
args-fold* by parse-command-line, I think it makes sense.  WDYT?

Hehe!  Maybe an extension could invoke Git under the hood when the
command is not found. ;-)
