The test as added in 79ec651a28 had no
effect: first because ‘guix time-machine --commit=X’, not followed by a
command, does nothing, and second because the “! COMMAND” shell stanza
does not have the desired effect (see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/62406>).
This change rewrites the test to make it effective.
* tests/guix-time-machine.sh: Rewrite.
Change-Id: Ib44a11331c8625e346139a236cffa699cdbd02f2
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix time-machine): Document limitation.
* guix/inferior.scm (cached-channel-instance): New VALIDATE-CHANNELS
argument. Use it to validate channels when there are no cache hit.
* guix/scripts/time-machine.scm
(%options): Tag the given reference with 'tag-or-commit instead of 'commit.
(%oldest-possible-commit): New variable.

the 'cached-channel-instance' call.
