[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Yesterday I updated my account on our 'kluit' server to use guix home,
and found that broke pushing to my git archives.  Apparently, my git
installed as a guix home package is not seen for ssh commands.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ssh kluit type -p git
[1]10:13:59 janneke <at> drakenpad:~
$ ssh kluit echo '$PATH'
/run/setuid-programs:/home/janneke/.config/guix/current/bin:/home/janneke/.guix-profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/sbin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

See?  Although there is no "/home/janneke/.guix-profile/bin", it is
still present in PATH, while "/home/janneke/.guix-home/profile/bin" is
missing!

Also (re-)installing git in my home profile again (ugh!) is a workaround
to fix this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ssh kluit type -p git
/home/janneke/.guix-profile/bin/git
10:14:52 janneke <at> drakenpad:~
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The attached patch has a fix for this.  WYDT?

Greetings,
Janneke
