One thing I can think about is that emacs-magit doesn't refer to git
directly:
$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/xd1bvmac1p4gjxb90m875r15xna52jyr-emacs-magit-3.3.0
/gnu/store/720rj90bch716isd8z7lcwrnvz28ap4y-bash-static-5.1.8
/gnu/store/vqdsrvs9jbn0ix2a58s99jwkh74124y5-coreutils-minimal-8.32
/gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33
/gnu/store/4y5m9lb8k3qkb1y9m02sw9w9a6hacd16-bash-minimal-5.1.8
/gnu/store/094bbaq6glba86h1d4cj16xhdi6fk2jl-gcc-10.3.0-lib
/gnu/store/hy6abswwv4d89zp464fw52z65fkzr7h5-perl-5.34.0
/gnu/store/xd1bvmac1p4gjxb90m875r15xna52jyr-emacs-magit-3.3.0
So it needs to be on your PATH. For me, the value returned by 'C-h v
magit-git-executable' is "git". One thing we could do is patch the
default value of this Elisp variable in our emacs-magit package to git,
so that users wouldn't need installing git manually.
Thanks,
Maxim
