Hi Simon,

Oh right.  I found that ‘julia-documenter’ depends on ‘git-minimal’; I
changed it to depend on ‘git-minimal/fixed’.  (The purpose of ‘/fixed’
variants, such as ‘guile-3.0/fixed’, is to avoid rebuilds of unrelated
sub-graphs.)  A few other packages were in a similar situation:

  bae13578f7 gnu: python-scikit-build: Depend on 'git-minimal/fixed'.
  8f31575ad1 gnu: gnome-photos: Depend on 'git-minimal/fixed'.
  0dcca97c9f gnu: opam: Depend on 'git-minimal/fixed'.
  9203de5250 gnu: ocamlformat: Depend on 'git-minimal/fixed'.
  83b1a2f682 gnu: julia-documenter: Depend on 'git-minimal/fixed'.

This is a simple way to reduce unnecessary rebuilds with potential
breakage, making it less risky and less costly to upgrade Git.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
