The previous recommendation, running ‘make authenticate’, was insecure
because it led users to run code from the very repository they want to
authenticate:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-04/msg00252.html
* Makefile.am (commit_v1_0_0, channel_intro_commit)
(channel_intro_signer, GUIX_GIT_KEYRING, authenticate): Remove.
* Makefile.am (.git/hooks/%): New target, generalization of previous
‘.git/hooks/pre-push’ target.
(nodist_noinst_DATA): Add ‘.git/hooks/post-merge’.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Suggest ‘guix git
authenticate’ instead of ‘make authenticate’.
* etc/git/post-merge: New file.
* etc/git/pre-push: Run ‘guix git authenticate’ instead of ‘make
authenticate’.
