To calculate the hash of a source that is a Git repository, one clones
the Git repository, checks out the desired commit, removes the '.git'
metadata directory, and then runs `guix hash -r` on the remaining Git
tree.
If the Git repository is very large, it's tedious to make a copy or
re-clone it in order to experiment with different commits. It would be
easier if `guix hash` could skip the '.git' metadata in that case.
