I don’t think this should be in terms of commits, or it would be a very
different tool (like Tobias writes, it would have to build/download
these commits.)  Rather, ‘guix pull’ should work in terms of
generations.

One can already run ‘guix pull -l 42..77’ for example, which does more
or less what you suggest.

That said, we can improve things incrementally, and I though that the
proposed ‘guix pull --news’ would address the problem initially
discussed.  :-)

Thanks,
