I do not know what is wrong, but some thing is.  From

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-10/msg00096.html

the commit ranges:

https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/ghc-haddock/output-history

does not match with the Git history if I am not wrong.

The first commit producing j5llsz…-ghc-haddock is not
3922208091 but 12dc9f58c4.  And then compare:

                author date              commit date
3922208091|Thu Jul 23 14:03:19 2020|Fri Jul 24 14:21:31 2020
12dc9f58c4|Fri Jul 24 09:56:25 2020|Fri Jul 24 14:21:30 2020

I have not checked what guix-commits says.  Maybe the mess is
overthere.


All the best,
