maybe i'm overthinking this, and all we need is a way to point to git commit
ranges that are compatible.
more specifically, i'm maintaining the guix-crypto channel, and i often miss
the ability to point to a guix commit, beyond which there is a change in guix
that my channel is not yet compatible with. if my users issue a `guix pull`,
then it would not pull the guix channel beyond that commit, and warn the users
that it's being held back.
