That’s nice but I see a potential confusion when using “guix pull
--commit” or “guix time-machine --commit”.  Well, from ’channel-list’ in
(guix scripts pull), if the option --commit is provided then the branch
is set to #f.  Therefore, it would display “, branch #f...” which could
be misleading.

Somehow, this display should be conditional depending on if
’channel-branch’ is not #f.  WDYT?
