I’m talking about git commits. “guix pull” fetches from channels, which are git repositories. When git history is rewritten (e.g. with a rebase) it has no way of forwarding to the new state. Have you considered using a merge-based workflow for these channels? Or, since these channels aren’t public, perhaps using GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH would be more convenient? -- Ricardo
