Hm, I'm hitting this bug while trying to work on the openSUSE package. They offer a way to build RPM packages from the most recent master commit, but it's get the wrong version (1.3.0 instead of 1.4.0) due to this `git describe` result.
So in the end the package looks like `guix-1.3.0+git*.rpm` which is a problem, because the normal Guix package is already `guix-1.4.0*.rpm`. RPM then thinks the package is older... ~Jonathan
