I would like to see a --with-version package transformation option.
Currently Guix only supports package transformation options
--with-source and --with-commit that are more complicated to use.

See
for background information.

For git packages, it would be sufficient if --with-commit supported
tags. If feasible, I think other packages should be designed so as to
make a --with-version possible. Currently many packages have a
version field, but transforming it does not change the hygienically
generated source URI.

Regards,
Florian
