Last time I checked that, I never got the object from SWH because a bug
on their side.  Nice now they cook the content.

Note that SWH is an archive and so it is expected to take a long time to
extract a large dataset as the files of the Guix repository is.  Many
data are stored cold not to say frozen and that’s why it takes a long
time to warm them up.

Well, if I understand correctly, SWH cooked the full Git repository of
Guix and somehow it is probably too big.  Hum, I do not know how to
investigate…

Thanks for the report!
