Hi,

This patch series makes more packages that use 'git-fetch'
auto-updatable.  The first 9 patches are specifically for Minetest packages.
The following three patches make packages written in the folowing style
auto-updatable:

(define-public foo
  ;; Upstream never makes any releases, so use the latest commit
  ;; from the 'stable' branch instead.
  (let ((commit "deadbeef...")
        (revision "9"))
    (package
      (name "foo")
      (version (git-version "0" revision commit))
      (source [git-fetch etc.])
      [etc.]
      (properties '((with-latest-git-commit . "refs/heads/stable"))))))

To do so, make sure with-latest-git-commit is set, and run
"./pre-inst-env guix refresh -t -u foo".  It will update
the commit and revision.

The last patch sets the property 'with-latest-git-commit'.

tests/channels.scm ("channel-news, one entry") fails, TBI.
"make check" is running, I'll send a message about what fails
and succeeds.

Greetings,
Maxime
