Subject: [PATCH WIP 0/4] Add upstream updater for git-fetch origins.
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2021 16:16:13 -0700

Hello Guix,

This is a proof-of-concept for extending `guix refresh -u` to support packages
with git-fetch origins.  The potential impact is large: approximately 4.5k
packages use git-fetch, although only some fraction would be supported.

Currently, this enables update support for (at least) any package where

* github-updater finds an update,
* origin-method is 'git-fetch', and
* the package version is a suffix of the 'commit' field.

Drawbacks currently include the fact that libgit2 doesn't (yet) support
shallow checkouts [0], so the entire repository must be cloned. There is also
no support for verifying commits.

There should probably also be a few tests added.

WDYT?
