Well, I think this would be difficult. And personally I do not have the
use case.
However, be able to locally Git tag and use this tag with “guix
time-machine” will be very handy. :-) Well, it is already possible but
a bit convoluted. It could be nice to do:
guix git tag foobar <commit>
guix time-machine --commit=foobar -- bla
It was one of the idea behind [1] but the code never landed master…
because I have been lazy. ;-)
