On the topic of other subcommands, I have in mind log and tag.

Currently, I have

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export 
CKT=~/.cache/guix/checkouts/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq
export SRC=~/src/guix
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and I run "git -C $CKT" or "git -C $SRC", for example:

   git -C $SRC log | grep Update

And I would like to be able to simply run;

   guix git log | grep Update

And the same for tagging commits.  Which implies also improve what "guix
pull" and "guix time-machine" accept.

All the best,
simon
