Why not also update git-minimal/pinned?

Well, the idea with git-minimal/pinned (as well as with all /pinned
packages) is to have a variant that is barely updated – barely means a
core-updates round, I guess. :-) It avoids a world rebuild and allows to
update non-pinned variants more frequently.

Somehow, the update of git-minimal should not be a world rebuild. :-)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix refresh -l -e '(@@ (gnu packages version-control) git-minimal)' | cut 
-f1 -d':'
Building the following 152 packages would ensure 370 dependent packages are 
rebuilt

$ guix refresh -l -e '(@@ (gnu packages version-control) git-minimal/pinned)' | 
cut -f1 -d':'
Building the following 2200 packages would ensure 5224 dependent packages are 
rebuilt
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Although, the change in bug#65924 also impacts git-minimal/pinned, hence
maybe the world rebuild you are talking about. :-)

Anyway.  Update git-minimal/pinned too?

Cheers,
simon
