Hi, I've seen in Ludo's slides that speeding up guix pull is topic. Here is a random idea on the:
"git pull" can probably be speed up by using something like
git init .
git remote add …
git fetch --depth=1 origin master
git checkout FETCH_HEAD
This will only download the top-most commit resp. commit-state.
>From my mostly up-t-date clone, this method downloads only 1559 objects
and 'du -s .git' reports 13M – compared to "git pull" downloading 133284
objects and taking 49M.
We could use this for downloading sourcce-code via git (git-download).
