Just to be sure to understand:
1- * 41a2d6a8b9 (newer)
2- * e70e097882 (between)
3- * 36640207c9 (older)
4- * xxxxxxxxxx (first authenticated commit)
>From a fresh cache,
a) if #2 is authenticated, because it is descendant of #4, it is stored
and all the commits between (closure), i.e., #3 should be considered as
authenticated.
b) then if #1 is authenticated, because it is a descendant of the last
authenticated i.e. #2, it is stored in the cache.
c) now let try #3. It is considered authenticated because in the closure
of #4 and #2.
Yes it makes sense. All is good. :-)
(And the assumption is: if Guix does not raise then it means that the
commit is authenticated.)
