My understanding is that since git-annex contains a reference to bash-minimal, the garbage collector will leave it alone. Indeed, running “guix gc --references /gnu/store/…-git-annex-20180626” shows that Guix knows that git-annex needs bash-minimal. As long as git-annex is available (a prerequisite to the pre-commit hook working) bash-minimal will be available. -- Tim
