Okay, so I followed exactly this, and ...

I ran `guix pull` but no luck for me. I still met the same error when I
was running `make`:
```
contributing.de.texi:1659: @menu reference to nonexistent node
`Configuring Git'
contributing.de.texi:1660: @menu reference to nonexistent node `Sending
a Patch Series'
```
My `guix describe` (on my Fedora machine):
```
guix c065da0
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: c065da01ff956d3c2bdfc45a33d910e509a211d9
```
c065da01ff956d3c2bdfc45a33d910e509a211d9 is the latest commit on Oct 19,
2023.
And my `which guix` is:
