If you want to pick a specific commit, you can do something like this

  (let ((commit [commit])
        (version "0.2.0")
        (revision "0"))
    (package
      (name [name])
      (version (git-version version revision commit))
      (source (origin
                (method git-fetch)
                (uri (git-reference
                       (url [url])
                       (commit commit)))
                (file-name (git-file-name name version))
                (sha256
                 (base32
                  ""))))


This makes it easier to upgrade to another given commit if necessary.
