You can test it manually by creating an OS config that uses it and
instantiating it in a VM, with ‘guix system vm’.  In the VM you can
check whether git-daemon is running and working as expected.

Writing an automated test would be very valuable, but it’s a bit more
work.  The (gnu tests base) module has examples, and
<https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8605> gives an
overview.

HTH!
