Subject: [bug#74892] [PATCH 0/9] Depending on 'git-minimal/pinned' where appropriate

Hello Python team & co.!

It’s a problem that too many things depend on ‘git’ and
‘git-minimal’: it makes upgrades of these packages very
expensive to build and test, which in turn means they’re
too rarely upgraded¹.

This patch series tries to fix the main cases where packages
should depend on ‘git-minimal/pinned’ instead.

After this change ‘guix refresh -l git-minimal git’ reports
587 dependents, compared to 3.5K before (and 1K before the
recent ‘python-team’ merge).

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
