It increases the size by 33% which is not nothing. :-)

Is it only the subcommand git-submodule which is broken?  Probably not.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ find $(guix build git-minimal --no-grafts) -type f -exec grep -H git-sh-setup {} \; | cut -f1 -d':' | xargs -I {} basename {}
grep: /gnu/store/y3vdq2pdkljrw63xxnc2vb6lz07ycar6-git-minimal-2.41.0/bin/scalar: binary file matches

git-submodule
git-filter-branch
git-merge-resolve
git-mergetool
git-merge-octopus
git-merge-one-file
git-web--browse
git-web--browse
git-quiltimport
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The question could be: is worth to add 33% for these commands?

Cheers,
simon
