This helps reduce the dependencies on git, as I think it's find to build with
a slightly older git, at least during periods when git-minimal/pinned needs
updating.

* gnu/packages/version-control.scm (python-pbr)[propagated-inputs]: Use
git-minimal/pinned.

this one is used on the repository cloned during build. As far as I see
we use git-minimal for cloning. Do we know whether the on-disk structures
of git are stable, i.e. can a clone of git version A be read by a git
version B with B < A?

Why do we use git-minimal for cloning instead of git-minimal/pinned?
