Switching the source to Git is probably a good idea but it has
additional implications: it adds more dependencies, and there’s a risk
of a cycle with ‘git-fetch’ for those using a daemon with
builtin:git-download, although a quick check suggests we’re fine:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix graph --path git-minimal sqlite
guix graph: error: no path from '[email protected]' to '[email protected]'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
