This works, thanks for sharing! But it prints a nonsensical warning message:
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
Authenticating channel 'guix', commits 9edb3f6 to bebfe06 (7,806 new commits)...
guix pull: warning: pulled channel 'guix' from a mirror of https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git, which might be stale
Building from this channel:
  guix      http://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git	bebfe06

It is weird to call the https location a potentially stale mirror of the
http location.
