Hi!
Starting from a couple of weeks ago, probably around the time SWH
deployed an updated version of their infrastructure, we get crashes like
this:

This can be reproduced by merely evaluating:
(lookup-origin-revision "https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn";
"1.3.2")
The crux of the problem is that ‘snapshot-branches’ used to return
either a “revision” or a “release”, but now it can also return a
“directory”:

$ wget -qO-

I’ll check with comrades at SWH whether this is intended.
(Note that this problem may vanish once
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68741> has been merged.)
