Well, that is rather misrepresenting things. It is recommended to push such a series of commits at the same time. So people doing "guix pull" should always end up on a working combination. Of course, one can then take extraordinary steps to time travel on purpose in the middle of such commits, but usually it is quite obvious that they come in a series. And if possible, I still try to order the commits so that they do not break anything. In another project I am working on we usually add test cases as soon as a bug report comes in, so that the git version can fail its tests between releases until we find a fix. Andreas
