Me too (impatient and annoyed)!

Personally I treat _the_ local repository like guix pull
without --allow-downgrade.  To switch to an other-branch,
I sync master with upstream first, then git rebase master other-branch.
Since I mostly don't touch core stuff, I can just run make,
and most of its build cache are still valid.

(I actually work on two machines so there's also synchronizing
my own branches where I do make mistakes and invalidate cache,
but I assume it's not a popular setup so I'll not go into that.)

Cheers,
Phong
