Running ‘guix pull’ doesn’t change (@ (guix config) %guix-version),
which gives a wrong impression about the version being (‘guix --version’
will keep showing the same old version number because (guix config) is
never overridden.)

The solution may be to add a (guix version) module, that will itself be
overridden by ‘guix pull’.

Hello!

I’m happy to report that this bug is finally fixed, in commit
b006ba50384f9cb517fa881299160adba0aaca9e.  :-)

It should take effect immediately: “guix pull && guix --version” should
display a version string other than “0.10.0” or similar.

Eventually the version string will include the Git commit id, à la “git
describe”.
