Currently, after running 'guix pull', the Guix version will be reported
by 'guix --version' as something like:
522d1b87bc88dd459ade51b1ee0545937da8d3b5
I think it would be really nice if instead it were something like:
2018-12-25-522d1b
where the date is the commit's date (year, month, day) in UTC+0.
That's shorter, more descriptive, and just as unique. (The chances of
there being two commits in the same day with the same first 6 positions
in the hash should be negligient.)
The package name is currently something like:
guix-522d1b87b
That could become:
guix-2018-12-25-522d1b
which is a bit longer but more descriptive.
I looked into guix/self.scm a bit but couldn't easily tell how difficult
it would be to implement these changes.
Thoughts? Worth it?
