FTR, apparently, i have abandoned the pursuit of this issue.

to sum up my perspective:

guix pull's behavior has greatly confused me once by accepting a commit that it (much) later rejected (when it wasn't the tip of the history anymore). i have wasted quite some time debugging/understanding this, which included reading the code. due to my annoyance i got into the presented work/patch while in the process.

if this is not considered an issue, then i don't have a dog in this fight anymore. i have learned this quirk by now, so it won't bite me again, and the rest is up to the maintainers to decide.

feel free to take from this patch whatever you find useful, or close it if you find no more value in it.

happy hacking,
