[aur-general] What should guile-git be named on AUR?
I am going to upgrade guix to 0.14.0 on AUR. It requires a new library called 'guile-git', which is a guile binding for libgit2 and it can be found on https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git. However, there is already a package called guile-git on AUR, which is the git snapshot version of 'guile' package. What is the recommended name for this new package to avoid conflict?

It seems to me that any of `guile-libgit`, `guile-git2`, or `guile-libgit2` would work — I'd recommend the first or the third, as the second might be misinterpreted as a duplicate of the `guile-git` package. ~Celti

There is another library called 'guile-libgit2' (https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-libgit2), so I think it should be avoided even if I am not going to package it. 'guile-libgit' looks confusing because the underlying library is called 'libgit2'. Maybe 'guile-git-lib' is better?
