Hi,

Another example using Git.  It is from v1.1.0.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix time-machine -q --commit=v1.1.0 -- build -S redkite
guile: warning: failed to install locale

>From its definition the package reads:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public redkite

       (sha256
        (base32

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then if I manually download it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ wget -O /tmp/content https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/1/vault/flat/swh:1:dir:d14c0eb6801bca920d1e1baac7a4b9e2a0589728/raw

$ tar xf content
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And we get the expected value:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix hash -rx swh:1:dir:d14c0eb6801bca920d1e1baac7a4b9e2a0589728
